Cannabidiol, or CBD , has become a popular natural remedy for various health conditions. It is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, but unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) , it doesn’t produce a psychoactive effect or make you feel “high.” Instead, it has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties that may alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality, among other benefits.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.
