I feel like you're confusing things quite a bit, or getting misinformation.

CBD doesn't "contain" marijuana. Marijuana is not an ingredient in CBD.

It's actually the complete opposite:

CBD is a component of cannabis. Cannabis contains CBD. But that's not all. Cannabis contains lots of components.

The CBD content present in most products is extracted from the hemp plant, which is *not* the plant containing THC. THC is the component that "gets you high." It is not present in hemp plants.
