Cannabis 101
THC vs CBD
Both THC and CBD are cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. These chemical compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system in the body, whose main function is to keep our bodies regulated. The EC system controls everything from sleep, emotions, appetite, and more. Because cannabinoid receptors exist in a variety of parts of the body, the effects of THC and CBD are wide-ranging.
THC is thought of in regards to the “high” it produces while CBD is the non-psychoactive cannabinoid known for the ample wellness benefits. Both cannabinoids have distinct but complementary effects.
