Cannabis is known for two major components, but not everyone knows what they are or what they do. The majority of cannabis-based products revolve around THC and CBD. These two compounds can do a lot for us, but they also lead to a lot of confusion surrounding everyday cannabis products. In this post, we will explain the difference between these two compounds.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

When most people think about cannabis, they think of THC. THC is the part of marijuana that is responsible for its status as a drug and is known for producing the feeling of being high. This psychoactive compound can cause a wide range of responses and they tend to vary by strain. Ultimately, it is commonly recognized for its feelings of relaxation and euphoria, but some studies show that it might be able to offer other benefits, both mentally and physically. This is one of the reasons that cannabis is prescribed by medical professionals around the world to aid with certain conditions, but for recreational purposes, it is just plain fun. 

Cannabidiol (CBD)

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is the other major component of cannabis. This particular compound has gathered quite a bit of attention lately. This is because it has been legalized as long as the source is hemp, another variation of cannabis. Since this change has been adopted, the CBD industry is absolutely blooming, with many brands rushing to get products on the shelves. CBD is generally associated with pain relief, as well as certain mental health benefits. Unlike THC, you cannot get high from using CBD. The CBD products on the shelves are derived from hemp and will not cause any notable side effects. Many people use CBD products for relief, or to get the same general benefits of THC without the psychoactive effects. 

Why The Difference Between CBD & THC Matters

When it comes down to it, the differences in CBD and THC are all about the general experience. THC and CBD offer a lot of the same benefits, but not every cannabis lover wants to be high on a regular basis. With hemp-based CBD products, users can choose the benefits of CBD without having to deal with being high in order to get them. CBD products can be particularly beneficial for athletes and business professionals who might not want to have THC in their system for professional reasons as well.

Conclusion

Cannabis is filled with a wide range of components, each with its own benefits. If you are looking for some general benefits without getting high, look for hemp-based CBD products in your local area or online. However, for a full-spectrum experience, THC-based products can offer similar benefits, as well as some additional side effects that can be fun. For general relief, CBD is a good choice. For everything else, look for THC or mixed products that can give you the benefit of full-spectrum perks. If you do choose THC, make sure to be responsible during use. For CBD, you can use it anytime and anywhere
