CBD

CBD (cannabidiol) is the second most-abundant cannabinoid in cannabis after THC. CBD is non-psychoactive and is associated with a range of wellness uses including sleep, anxiety, and inflammation. CBD has FDA approval as Epidiolex for certain pediatric seizure disorders. It is the foundational cannabinoid of the post-2018 hemp wellness market.

Example: CBD launched the modern hemp industry; THCA scaled it.
