CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is the second most common ingredients found in cannabis. While CBD is an essential component of marijuana, it is extracted directly from the hemp plant not the marijuana plant.
CBD on his own does not cause any psychotic effect. To date, there is no evidence of long term health issue associated with the use of pure CBD.
Texas removed cannabidiol with 0.3% or less of THC ( psychoactive component) from its Schedule I controlled substances list in June of 2019 with the passage of House Bill 1325. As a result, licensed retailers may sell some hemp products with CBD if they also contain the THC within the legal limit. Also., the state allows patients with certain medical conditions to use other medical formulations that contain CBD with less than 0.5% THC.

Unfortunately, just like any herbs, vitamins and other supplements, quality and purity vary tremendously. As CBD oil became popular and very profitable, opportunist organizations jumped on the occasion. The results? Impotent extracts and mediocre outcomes.
A project funded by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine concluded that:
Results | Of 75 products purchased (47 different brands), 17% were accurately labeled, 23%were underlabeled, and 60%were overlabeled with respect to THC content (Table 1). The greatest likelihood of obtaining underlabeled products was in Los Angeles and overlabeled products in Seattle (χ2 = 12.94,P = .01). Non-THC content was generally low (Table 2). Forty-four products (59%) had detectable levels of CBD; only 13 had CBD content labeled. Four products were underlabeled and 9 were overlabeled for CBD. The median THC:CBD ratio of products with detectable CBD was 36:1, 7 had ratios of less than 10:1, and only 1 had a 1:1 ratio.
