I will add, CBD and Delta8 are very different things. CBD is not like smoking weed, it's just relaxing and I believe what the parent is referencing. Delta8 can (and usually does) contain Delta8-THC, which is far more psychoactive than CBD (its purpose is to be a legal alternative to regular weed, its made to be as close as possible). Now, if you wanna actually smoke weed you can get weed that contains very low Delta9-THC (Delta9 is weed as we've known it for decades) with high CBD that will not get you (very) high.

I don't even know if Delta8-CBD exists but if you go somewhere and ask for delta8, it's going to get you high and potentially be very not relaxing. If you ask for CBD specifically, it will not be highly psychoactive. Just be careful out there these days, it's only getting more confusing and marketing heavy.
