CBD is a cannabinoid, which means that it interacts with the human body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system of neurotransmitters and receptors found throughout the body appears to be involved in many bodily functions, including mood, sleep, memory, digestion, the immune system, and even posture.

Overall, the ECS seems to help us maintain homeostasis: the natural cycles of waking, sleeping, eating, and maintaining body temperature and other key functions. In other words, it helps keep us in balance.

That includes mental balance: activating the ECS receptors appears to induce calm, which is why people have used cannabis for thousands of years as a way to mellow out. CBD plays a role in that phenomenon, even though it doesn’t get you stoned.
