Is CBD psychoactive?

Time and time again I hear about CBD being non-psychoactive, and yet my personal research leads me to believe otherwise. I also see little to no discussion ANYWHERE on the internet as to whether or not this is true.
There are many definitions out there, but I chose Wikipedia as it was the most fleshed out. "A psychoactive drug is any chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception, mood, or consciousness."
Now every anecdote I have read regarding CBD doses, especially higher ones, agree with this definition. It causes relaxation, etc, etc, etc.
Just because a drug doesn't make you extremely high, does not make it non-psychoactive.
So what experiences do you guys have? Psychoactive? Non-psychoactive?
Here is a little excerpt from this website: http://www.leafscience.com/2014/02/23/5-must-know-facts-cannabidiol-cbd/
"CBD is non-psychoactive because it does not act on the same pathways as THC. These pathways, called CB1 receptors, are highly concentrated in the brain and are responsible for the mind-altering effects of THC."
Neither does LSD. So is LSD non-psychoactive? Heh, misinformation never did any of us good.

yes, its most certainly psychoactive.
this just wiki, but you can find far more extensive info on other websites to confirm if you want.
Quote:
Cannabidiol has a very low affinity for CB1 and CB2 receptors but acts as an indirect antagonist of their agonists.[10] While one would assume that this would cause cannabidiol to reduce the effects of THC, it may potentiate THC's effects by increasing CB1 receptor density or through another CB1-related mechanism.[34] It is also an inverse agonist of CB2 receptors.[10][35] Recently, it was found to be an antagonist at the putative new cannabinoid receptor, GPR55, a GPCR expressed in the caudate nucleus and putamen.[36] Cannabidiol has also been shown to act as a 5-HT1A receptor agonist,[37] an action which is involved in its antidepressant,[21][38] anxiolytic,[38][39] and neuroprotective[40][41] effects. Cannabidiol is an allosteric modulator of μ and δ-opioid receptors.[42] Cannabidiol's pharmacological effects have also been attributed to PPAR-γ receptor agonism and intracellular calcium release.[5]

I'm growing a high CBd strain called AC/DC and from what I've read it gets you high "medically" like if you have arthritis or some shit , but it doesn't give you the head high which some people associate with paranoia so its reccomended for older patients and according my friend, some young people find a market in CBD strains.
I'm excited to smoke a high CBD strain and will do a trip report when I can.
One of my friends said you don't smoke CBD (?) because it doesn't get you high unless you make it into a wax or edible. I don't beleive him.

As far as I know CBD oil is legal here in FL now with a Dr. Recommendation.
Sounds like something that would help me a great deal with my anxiety issues as well as some chronic pain.
I had no idea it was psychoactive though. I'm going to try and get a recommendation next week when I have to go back to my Dr.

Apparently CBD oil here is only being recommended to people with debilitating diseases such as cancer.
That really sucks. It would help me so much.

From what I have read CBD is legal in all 50 states as long as it is being extracted from industrial hemp overseas. This is because as long as it has less than 0.06% THC it qualifies as a hemp product and is therefore legal. However if it is made from medical marijuana, it is derived from a drug and is therefor illegal.
You can find multitudes of sources online for CBD products, the two I am personally interested in being vaping liquid and wax. It tends to be pricey though, rare, and still in some sort of grey area.
I too would like to try some of this for anxiety. I experience anxiety when smoking high THC marijuana, and would like to try some 1:1 ratio or somewhere around there to see if I would enjoy my high again.

Right on. Thanks for the information 
I've had pretty severe GAD for over 5 years now and I would consider it debilitating. I'm so tired of my primary physician trying to push SSrI's and Benzos down my throat. It's truly fucked up.
Indica strains of bud don't make my anxiety worse, but it just makes me so lazy.
Sativas on the other hand are a panic attack for me most times.

its now legal in some states to grow hemp, and there is a processing facility being built or already built in NC...farmers in those states are too scared to start though/get too much resistance from the community cause its still "weed"
i have smoked strains with higher cbd than thc....i have used pure cbd in topical and oral dosing, and pure cbn as well. i actually have a bunch of seeds of a 1:1 ratio strain "ambulance" that is supposed to be around 12% each THC and CBD
CBD helps with aches and pains, and anxiety mainly.....so its more of the chill - i dont care - high. if you want to consider that psychoactive then sure but you dont get high from it really.....just relief IME
CBN is the one that will make you pass the fuuuuck out

Thanks for the info TB and long time since I've seen you around.
Hope all is well.
I'm not interested in getting high off of CBD although it's always a plus. Like you and I have both said, for pain and anxiety is the reason I've been looking into it.

I have it in vape drops and put it on my weed, makes it taste good and burn longer.
By itself I don't know but smoking that and drinking makes my libido go up.

It is legal to grow hemp in ANY state?!
Maybe the legal states but NORTH CAROLINA? No, way I am going to have to look into this.
And will you explain more about this CBN? Sounds very interesting but I am not finding much info about it.
I have always been an indica smoker but it is definitely harder to get than sativa strains in my area. Are indicas known to have more CBD?
My only experience with CBD is in vape oil and it does tend to mellow my high out. I am definitely looking to use in conjuction with weed or at the very least on its own regularly. The CBD wax intrigues me, I have found some with 410 mg of CBD in 1 gram of wax. Dabbing that should have me feeling BETTER. Or am I wrong?

CBD is not worth it. If you've ever smoked ditchweed its the stuff in it that gives you a headache. I guess you can call it psychoactive but in that case its about as psychoactive as damiana.
