CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a chemical compound from the plant Cannabis sativa, also known as marijuana or hemp, according to the US National Library of Medicine.

An effective dosage can range from a few milligrams of CBD-enriched cannabis oil to a gram or more. Start with a small dose of high-CBD oil, especially if you have little or no experience with the product.

NO. While THC is psychoactive and can cause sedation, lethargy, dysphoria and other negative effects, CBD has no psychoactive activity and has healing properties from the cannabis plant (marijuana) that do not alter your state of consciousness.

A cannabinoid is a compound produced by the cannabis plant (marijuana) or produced synthetically as a chemical (synthetic cannabinoid). Of the more than 100 cannabinoids present in the plant, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive compound, causing changes in the mind or behavior. Other existing cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN) and cannabigerol (CBG). Since the mid-2000s, a number of different synthetic cannabinoids have been produced in illegal laboratories and marketed as drugs to mimic the effects of THC.

CBD is not prohibited in sports. However, athletes should be aware that some CBD oils and tinctures extracted from the cannabis plant may also contain THC and other prohibited cannabinoids.

All synthetic and natural cannabinoids are prohibited, except for cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabis, hashish and marijuana are prohibited, as are products, including food and beverages, that contain cannabinoids. In short, all synthetic cannabinoids that mimic the psychoactive effects of THC are banned.
