CBD is the non-psychoactive molecule found in hemp plants, and the ECS (endocannabinoid system) is a network of cells and receptors which keep your body in balance.CBD is commonly used as part of an overall wellness routine, whether that means starting your day with a few drops of CBD oil, grabbing a CBD drink with your lunch, or taking CBD in the evening to help you wind down. Many also take CBD after a tough workout, along with a protein bar or bottle of water!
