THC vs CBD

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are both chemicals found in cannabis plants. THC is the main compound responsible for the "high" or psychoactive effects. It interacts with brain receptors to alter mood, perception, and consciousness. CBD, on the other hand, does not produce a high and is often used for potential health benefits like reducing anxiety, inflammation, and seizures. While THC can cause intoxication and impair judgment, CBD is generally well-tolerated and non-intoxicating. Both compounds are being studied for medical uses, but they have different effects and legal statuses.
