What are cannabinoids, like CBD?

Cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), are a group of chemicals concentrated in the female flower of the cannabis plant. While they are chemically similar to THC, they do not have the psychoactive effects of THC. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture permits growth of hemp for the purpose of producing CBD. However, it is the permit holder's responsibility to ensure that any CBD extraction or production of CBD-containing substances complies with all laws and regulations.
