Cannabidiol or CBD: A molecule extracted from hemp
CBD doesn't make you high
The molecule that produces a "high" (and which is illegal in the UK), is Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. CBD, on the other hand, does not alter your perception, and the WHO has even declared that it is perfectly safe to drive after taking CBD.
"Several scientific studies have examined the impact of CBD on anxiety and sleep."

Most of the serious research has been done in Canada and the United States, countries where this natural molecule is now widely used. Therefore, in 2019, a notable clinical study involving 103 patients proved the beneficial effects of CBD on sleep and anxiety. (Shannon S et al., 2019. Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series. Perm J. 2019; 23:18-041).
Other studies suggest that cannabidiol may have an anxiolytic effect, which would be a very promising avenue for many people.
