A naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants, often abbreviated as CBD, that doesn't produce a high and is studied for potential medical uses.
From 'cannabis' combined with the chemical suffix '-idiol,' indicating a molecule with two hydroxyl groups. The name reflects its chemical structure.
