Non-psychoactive compound

A non-psychoactive compound is a substance that does not affect the mind or mental state. Unlike psychoactive substances, which can alter mood, perception, or consciousness (like caffeine or marijuana), non-psychoactive compounds do not produce these effects. A common example is cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from the cannabis plant. CBD is often used for its potential health benefits, such as reducing anxiety or inflammation, without causing the “high” associated with another cannabis compound, THC. Non-psychoactive compounds are valuable in medicine and wellness for their therapeutic properties without altering mental clarity.
