National CBD Day, observed annually on August 8th, is a day dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness about Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound found in the cannabis plant. The day aims to educate the public about CBD's potential wellness benefits, its various forms, and its role in the growing health and wellness industry, distinguishing it from psychoactive cannabinoids like THC.

Observed each year on August 8, National CBD Day invites people to pause, share the story, and bring a little themed joy to their day.

Origin and story

CBD was first isolated by American chemist Roger Adams in 1940.

Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the 'high' associated with cannabis.
