THC and CBD

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are two primary compounds found in cannabis. THC is psychoactive, meaning it can produce a "high" by affecting the brain's receptors, and is often associated with recreational use. CBD, on the other hand, is non-psychoactive and is commonly used for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing inflammation, anxiety, and pain. Both interact with the body's endocannabinoid system but have different effects and uses. While THC can impair alertness and memory, CBD is generally considered safe and well-tolerated.
