Cannabis, which is popularly known as hemp is gotten from the cannabis plant. The active compounds present in cannabis are: cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV, THV), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and lots more. The tetrahydrocannabinol is a very psychoactive compound. On the other hand, Cannabidiol does not contain this psychoactive element that is found in THC.

It can either be eaten (taking consumable CBD products such as chocolates and gummies) or mixing with your food. It can also be taken straight but it is recommended that it is used under the tongue.
Another way CBD oil Canada can be used is in the form of a capsule and can also be applied on the skin directly in the form of cream.
