• Probably one of the first things you should know
  about weed before you consume itwhether youre
  smoking or eating itis the difference between
  CBD and THC.
• Both are chemical compounds that occur in
  cannabis, and even though theyre both similar in
  chemical structure to your bodys
  endocannabinoids, they have vastly different
  effects on the human body. Lets break it down.

The Effects of CBD vs. THC

• THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the compound in
  weed that creates the psychoactive effects that
  are most popularly seen on movies and TV shows.
  (Pineapple Express, anyone?)
• High THC strains are the ones thatll give you
  that euphoric high/buzz//stoned sensation.
  Typically, medical marijuana generally has
  comparatively low THC levels because, well, its
  focus is not on getting you high, but on
  relieving whatever discomforts or ailments you
  might have. However, THC still has therapeutic
  uses because of its mood-altering effects.
  Theyre just a little hazier compared to CBD.
• CBD, or cannabidiol, on the other hand, is what
  offers much of the health benefits that people
  turn to medical cannabis for. One of its biggest
  perks is its ability to block pain receptors,
  hence its popularity as a pain management option.
  Most importantly, its non-psychoactive, meaning
  it wont get you high. Which is great, if you
  have to get stuff done during the day or night.
• Marijuana strains that have high levels of CBD,
  like ACDC and Cannatonic, are known for their
  positive effects on anxiety and pain.

The Health Benefits of CBD

• CBDs health benefits are beginning to be studied
  more enthusiastically (about time), but they
  range from relieving pain to reducing
  inflammation to helping you sleep better at
  night. Thats the CBD difference.
• In fact, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, the researcher
  who first isolated and identified THC in 1964,
  believe that post-traumatic stress disorder,
  certain phobias and forms of chronic pain as
  human situations which are conditioned can be
  treated by CBD.
• In other words, were barely scratching the
  surface of discovering CBDs health benefits.

What to Remember When Looking at THC vs. CBD

• You cant use a strains indica vs. sativa ratio
  to determine how much THC or CBD it has! Its a
  common assumption that people make, but its just
  not accurate. The effects of different strains of
  cannabis are determined by their THC and CBD
  contentwhich are not the same as indica and
  sativa proportions.
• Last word of advice When choosing a strain of
  cannabis, try to think of it not so much as THC
  vs. CBD, but how THC and CBD can work together.
  Often, people like balancing out the effects of
  one with the other (CBD can soften the
  psychoactive effects of THC), so try to find the
  balance that works for you.
