What is the Difference Between THC and CBD?

What is the Difference Between THC and CBD
Marijuana plants contain dozens of chemicals known as cannabinoids. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is considered as the cannabinoid that is most well known for a very long time. However, as further studies has been conducted regarding cannabis, together with its capacity to be used in the field of medicine, more have also been learning about other chemical compounds. One such cannabinoid is CBD (cannabidiol).

 

The recent years have been witness to the interest of people in CBD. As a matter of fact, it has even been featured on several TV episodes highlighting how it works effectively when it comes to treating individuals who are suffering from medical conditions, such as severe epilepsy.
However, as THC and CBD are always mentioned together, you might wonder what the difference between the two of them is.
Understanding the Difference

 

While the difference between these two chemical compounds can tend to lean on the technical side, one of the most important things that you can just try to understand is that THC is responsible for the high that you feel, so long as you consume enough amount of it. CBD does not provide this capability. THC comes equipped with certain psychoactive properties which affect the brain, giving you that ‘buzz’; something that is not offered by CBD. For this very reason, CBD is perfect for those who want to take advantage of the benefits brought by medical cannabis, but do not want to feel the high that is often associated with THC.
By description, THC is the main psychoactive constituent of the marijuana plant. It is characterized by a water-clear, and glassy solid feature when it is cold, while it becomes sticky and viscious when warmed. On the other hand, CBD is the one that provides outstanding medical benefits. In fact, it proves itself to be an appealing treatment for individuals who are seeking anti-pain, anti-inflammatory, anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety or anti-spasm solutions without having to feel dysphoria or lethargy.
Bottom Line
To sum everything up, if you want to consume marijuana with the hopes of feeling high, choose products or strains that come with high THC levels. On the other hand, if you just want to enjoy the medical benefits of marijuana, but do not want to feel the high introduced by THC, choose strains that are high with CBD.
As a note however, it is good to keep in mind that all of these cannabinoids, including THC and CBD come with medical benefits. Therefore, it is very important to do your own research regarding strains that can particularly suit conditions that you want to treat. At the same time, before purchasing marijuana strains, it is best to know more about its cannabinoid content. If you are using marijuana for medical purposes, and you are located in an area where medical marijuana use is allowed, your physician will certainly be able to assist you in determining, and prescribing, the strains that are well-suited for your particular medical condition.
