CBD vs THC

As the legal market of medical marijuana (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) grows, many consumers are becoming more curious about their options. While consumers are curious about their options, they are often misguided, misinformed, or hesitant due to the close relation of the medical marijuana industry. As the CBD market continues to rise, it’s important to know the difference between hemp and marijuana and how the two relate to the cannabis plant.

THC, the most common cannabinoid is known for its mind-altering effects or “high”. THC can directly bind to your CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system, which induces the mind-altering effects. Furthermore, THC most commonly comes from the marijuana plant, the female cannabis plant. Which is more potent in THC than CBD. In fact, anything more than 0.3% THC in the cannabis plant is considered marijuana and anything below is Hemp. Although CBD can be derived from both the marijuana plant and the hemp plant, the legality of the two is different.

Hemp, previously a regulated substance under the 1970 Controlled Substance Act, was removed as of the 2018 Farm Bill Act, making it legal to grow and purchase hemp and hemp-derived products. This includes CBD. As for Marijuana, the cannabis plant is still considered a controlled substance and is federally illegal. Although CBD is legal if derived from the hemp plant, it is still considered illegal if derived from the marijuana plant.

CBD, unlike THC will not give you psychoactive or mind-altering effects. In fact, CBD has been known to help combat the psychoactive and mind-altering effects that some find undesirable. While THC is dominant in the female cannabis plant, marijuana. CBD is dominant in the male cannabis plant, Hemp. Making the two similar in make-up, but different in effect and uses. CBD could potentially help with pain, inflammation, anxiety, neurological disorders and many others. Also, while having very limited side effects unlike many other medications on the market today.
