10 High CBD Strains You Should Try

CBD is a huge buzzword in the cannabis world, and for a good reason. Many people find that CBD, or cannabidiol, is helpful for things like depression, anxiety, stress, and chronic pain. CBD derives from cannabis and may be consumed on its own or in marijuana.

However, due to the intriguing chemical interaction known as the entourage effect, CBD is more effective when consumed in weed than on its own. In other words, when you combine CBD with other cannabinoids (such as THC), you’ll experience different results.
