💚 Your Friendly Introduction to CBD and CBD Products
If you’re curious about CBD, you’re in good company. More people than ever are exploring its natural benefits for relaxation, sleep, and overall wellness. But with so many terms and products out there—full-spectrum, isolate, tinctures, topicals—it can feel confusing to know where to begin.
That’s where this guide comes in. At Greenhouse Farmacy, we believe CBD should feel approachable, not overwhelming. Whether you’re completely new to it or just looking to deepen your understanding, we’ll walk you through what CBD is, how it works, and how to find the right fit for your needs.
🌱 What Exactly Is CBD?
CBD (short for cannabidiol) is one of the many natural compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, it doesn’t cause a “high.” Instead, it interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system—a network that helps regulate mood, sleep, and overall balance.
Many people use CBD for:
- 💤 Better sleep
- 😌 Relaxation and stress relief
- 💪 Pain and inflammation support
- 🐾 Pet wellness (yes, dogs and cats can benefit too!)

🔍 Full-Spectrum vs. Broad-Spectrum vs. Isolate
When shopping for CBD, you’ll likely see these three main types on product labels. Here’s what they mean:
🌿 Full-Spectrum CBD:
Contains all cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant (including trace THC, less than 0.3%). These compounds work together in what’s known as the “entourage effect,” enhancing overall benefits.
🌸 Broad-Spectrum CBD:
Similar to full-spectrum, but THC has been completely removed—ideal if you want the benefits of multiple cannabinoids without THC.
💧 CBD Isolate:
Pure CBD with no other cannabinoids or terpenes. Great for those seeking a completely THC-free option or looking for precise dosing.
Not sure which is right for you? Our team at Greenhouse Farmacy can help you find a product that matches your comfort level and wellness goals.
