"CBD seeds are a specific type of cannabis seed bred to produce plants that are high in cannabidiol (CBD) and low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). While cannabis has been cultivated for thousands of years, interest in CBD-focused genetics is relatively recent. This shift has happened as laws, research, and public awareness around cannabis have changed. Today, CBD seeds are used for many legal and industrial purposes, including wellness products, research, and regulated hemp production. To understand their role, it is important to first understand what CBD seeds are and how they fit into the broader cannabis plant family.

Cannabis plants naturally produce chemical compounds called cannabinoids. The two most widely known cannabinoids are CBD and THC. THC is the compound responsible for the intoxicating effects often linked to marijuana. CBD, on the other hand, does not cause intoxication. CBD seeds are bred to favor the genes that produce higher CBD levels while limiting the genes that produce THC. This genetic focus is what separates CBD seeds from cannabis seeds bred for recreational use."
