CBD vs. THC

Cannabidiol aka CBD is one of many compounds found in cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t have psychotropic or intoxicating effects. This means you shouldn’t feel high from CBD. CBD has loads of medical benefits. In fact, it has more medicinal properties than THC.

Pain and anxiety are at the center of many medical conditions in which CBD helps to control and at times even treat. CBD is reported to be a Vasorelaxant, to suppress muscle spasms, treat psoriasis, slow bacterial growth, and that’s not all!

CBD is shown to help relieve anxiety and pain, reduce inflammation, reduce nausea and vomiting, reduces the risk of artery blockage, reduce blood sugar levels, convulsions, and seizures. I that wasn’t enough, CBD is an antibacterial, promotes bone growth, acts as a neuroprotective, and in studies is shown to inhibit cancer cell growth.

THC vs. CBD

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC for short) has a much different effect than CBD. THC is partially responsible for where the buzz from cannabis comes from. THC is required to treat certain medical conditions that CBD alone can’t handle. Conditions like that of Alexis Bortell who suffers from Dravets Syndrome Epilepsy.

THC is quite possibly the most popular compound in cannabis. It was first said to be isolated in 1964 by Raphael Mechoulam. THC is used by many people for the treatment of many things. Check out this list below of things that THC helps.

Anxiety and depression, nausea, vomiting, spasticity, pain, glaucoma, asthma, cachexia, eating disorders, and insomnia are a few of the areas where THC is proving to be effective as a treatment. Unlike CBD, when consumers intake THC, they become sedated to a point, some more than others.
