Best CBD Supplements and Edibles for Anxiety That Won't Get You High

As weed's profile rises, cannabidiol is in the zeitgeist. More commonly known as CBD, this cannabis compound is popping up in everything from beauty products like Milk Makeup's new Kush Mascara to personal lubricants, vapes, and candy. CBD isn't psychoactive and won't get you high when you consume it (THC, a different cannabis compound, is behind that effect), but fans swear by its relaxation-boosting properties, and it's attracted expert support and a growing amount of research, too. It's "a potent anti-inflammatory" that is also neuro-calming, registered dietitian nutritionist and holistic cannabis consultant Janice Newell Bissex tells Allure, echoing evidence that CBD works on neuroreceptors to boost serotonin levels and thereby reduce anxiety. More research on the effects of CBD is needed, but in the meantime, the medical consensus is that it's quite safe — a view that the World Health Organization shares. Ahead, we've rounded up a few of our current favorite ingestible CBD products, designed for seasoned consumers and initiates alike.
