CBD Chocolate Cups

How about having a healthy and satisfying dessert with an upgrade? After my home country finally removed the healing compound CBD from the list of dangerous drugs, I felt inspired and made these yummy CBD chocolate cups.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound found in the flower of cannabis that contains therapeutic properties. CBD is a safe, non-addictive substance and is one of the more than a hundred ‘phytocannabinoids’ found in a cannabis plant. Hemp and Marijuana are both the same plant, but they’ve been bred to be either high in CBD and low in THC (hemp), or high in THC and low in CBD (marijuana). Most CBD oil is extracted from hemp, not marijuana.
