Why compare CBD vs THC?
Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two of many different cannabinoids present in cannabis. Both CBD and THC interact with cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, to produce a variety of effects. It is both CBD and THC help with or limit the effects of a variety of conditions. CBD is more abundant in hemp and THC is more abundant in marijuana. But when it comes to CBD vs THC, how different are they?
More On Cannabinoid Receptors
There are hundreds of cannabinoid receptors throughout the human body that cause both specific and unknown effects on the human body. Cannabinoids supplement with short term.
Cannabis Species: Primary Differences
CBD and THC are both found in both hemp and marijuana produce their effects via the endocannabinoid system. They work with different receptors though and produce different effects to be aware of.
The “High” Feeling
The most notable difference between the two is that THC makes you “high” and CBD does not.
The CB1 receptor is concentrated in the brain and thus is the receptor responsible for the psychoactive effects of Cannabis. The THC is the cannabis plant that works primarily with this CB1 receptor type and is the reason for its effect on memory, concentration, altered time perception, and hallucinations. The high feeling in marijuana has many people using it as a recreational activity.
Where Do They Come From?
Both CBD and THC are cannabinoids found in the Cannabis Sativa plant. There are two main types of Cannabis, Hemp and Marijuana. Hemp legally has no more than 0.3% THC. Marijuana usually has 5-20% THC but can have up to 30%.
CBD vs THC – Side Effects
In a healthy individual, there is no evidence that it will have any impact.
THC has some mild side effects; some of which are more common in individuals new to its use. THC will commonly result in feeling high, memory loss, slow response times, reduce coordination, red eyes, and dry mouth. In rare cases, it can cause panic attacks and mild hallucinations. These rare cases are more common in individuals new to THC use that take too high of a dose. Individuals with underlying mental disorders may have an increased risk of developing further mental illness with THC use.
It is important to note that it is virtually impossible to overdose using either CBD or THC.
Is CBD Legal? What about THC?
Disclaimer: This section is just advice. It is advisable to seek out official laws and regulations for your needs.
The Hemp Farming act of 2018 passage of the 2018 Farm Bill made industrial Hemp growing legal in the U.S. as long as it complies with state and local laws. It is fully legal in some states, such as Colorado, and conditionally legal in others.
Some states have age purchase restrictions.
Quite a few states actually require that CBD contains 0% THC. Some states require that the FDA approves a product first. Because of the incredible amount of variations of laws and regulations, that are ever-changing, you need to do your own research for your area.
It is still Federally illegal to purchase THC.
Many states have passed laws for it to be fully or conditionally legal. This means that in a state with fully legal THC laws, like in Colorado, a state trooper or a local police department may not have authority to take action against THC, but a federal agent from Border Patrol or the DEA can take full action against it.
