What is THC? THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is a cannabinoid compound found in the cannabis plant. It has a variety of uses including treatment for cancer and nausea, as well as its psychoactive effect, which creates the traditional ‘high’ associated with marijuana use.

What is CBD? Cannabidiol is another cannabinoid compound found in the cannabis plant. It helps treat seizures and other neurological disorders, but it may also be used to reduce pain, inflammation, and anxiety.

What are the differences between THC and CBD? Unlike THC, CBD does not have any psychoactive effects. This means that when you ingest or use CBD oil, you won’t feel any mind-altering changes. CBD also has a wide range of medical applications, but it is not psychoactive, so it will not create the traditional ‘high’ that THC users seek to attain.
