CBD is a single molecule (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol ). it doesn't matter where you get that molecule from, or if you synthesize it from raw chemical feedstocks.

CBD effectiveness for migraines (the only use I'm familiar with) is greatly decreased if taken outside of the presence of any THC.

Honestly the science on this isn't in because the funding has never been available.

i'm entirely open to believing that! there are a huge number of cannabidiol compounds in the plants, and teasing them apart is a very recent endeavor.

(it's also totally orthogonal to my claim.)
