How is CBD different from Marijuana? Can you get high from CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two natural compounds found in plants of the Cannabis (Cannabis sativa). THC and CBD are in both marijuana and hemp. Marijuana has much more THC than hemp, while hemp has a lot more CBD.
