What is CBD oil?

• flowers - also a fully legal oil that does not contain narcotic substances, but only therapeutic;
• from marijuana - called THC. This oil is completely illegal due to the fact that it has a high content of THC, a narcotic substance responsible for intoxication and addiction. Both possession and sale are prohibited and punished.
