Athletes Are Now Big Targets for CBD Marketers

Cannabidiol or CBD has been at the heart of the cannabis revolution. The hemp extract is one of the over 100 cannabinoids found in hemp, and it doesn't get users intoxicated.

Last year, Congress passed the Farm Bill, legislation that legalized the cultivation of industrial hemp as long as it had less than 0.3% THC levels. THC is the cannabinoid responsible for the high marijuana users experience, and it's why cannabis is still illegal at the federal level. Industrial hemp, however, has negligible amounts of THC. It's bred for cannabidiol (CBD) instead, one of the other main cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. While it wouldn't be factual to say CBD…
