THC vs. CBD: Understanding the Basics

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are the two most well-known cannabinoids found in cannabis, but they have very different effects on the body and mind.

THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It’s responsible for the “high” feeling that users often seek. THC binds to receptors in the brain, altering mood, perception, and cognition. Besides recreational use, THC can also help with pain relief, appetite stimulation, nausea reduction, and certain medical conditions like glaucoma or PTSD.

CBD, on the other hand, is non-intoxicating, meaning it doesn’t cause a high. Instead, CBD is prized for its potential wellness benefits, such as reducing anxiety, inflammation, and seizures, as well as promoting relaxation and overall balance. Many users appreciate CBD for its therapeutic effects without the psychoactive side effects.

The interaction between THC and CBD in a product can greatly influence the overall experience. Some strains or products balance these cannabinoids to provide relief without intense intoxication. Others focus on high THC content for a more potent psychoactive effect.
