No, far from it: the main differences between CBD and THC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who love cannabis usually talk about weed. And weed is so popular because it gets you high. But of the 113 substances in the cannabis plant, only one is psychoactive: THC. CBD cannot get you stoned at all. Are there any other differences between CBD and THC? Yes, these are the most important in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannabidiol or CBD is the plant cannabinoid that plays the main role in CBD products. THC is the most important substance in the weed that you buy at the coffee shop. CBD is known for its many therapeutic uses, including pain relief, inflammation and anxiety reduction. CBD can also counteract side effects of THC, such as short-term memory loss and anxiety. All cannabis strains contain a certain percentage of THC and CBD, and strains that contain more CBD than THC have a different effect than THC-dominant varieties. THC is often smoked for fun, but also has therapeutic effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between CBD and THC?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

THC and CBD are both cannabinoids from the cannabis plant, but they are just as different from each other as you are from your cousin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very simple: with THC it's about how the cannabis makes you feel, with CBD you don't always feel the effects. Another key difference: CBD addresses chronic inflammation or inflammation, and THC helps relieve acute pain. Harvard Medical School distinguishes two types of inflammation: acute inflammation and chronic inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acute inflammations: we all know these. A sprained ankle, a bruise or a cold that comes on all of a sudden. These inflammations have to do with an infection, disease or injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chronic inflammation: with these inflammations, our body reacts as if it were acute, but the complaint continues to occur, over and over. And sometimes your body attacks your healthy tissues and organs in the process. So bad news.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inflammation plays an important role in your immune system, and one of the benefits of cannabis (both THC and CBD) is that it treats inflammation naturally, with no side effects associated with prescription drugs. In this way it brings your body back into balance (homeostasis). Your body has an endocannabinoid system, and its main function is to maintain biological harmony no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD and THC for your health<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

CBD has no intoxicating effect. That does not mean that CBD has no effect. CBD is widely used to treat pain, anxiety and inflammation, but can also provide a clear mind or deeply relaxed body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD can also block the intoxicating effects of THC. By binding to receptors, the THC cannot enter. Are you trying to reduce your THC use, are you ready for a tolerance break or do you want to get ahead of a weed hangover? Then take CBD oil before going to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What CBD can do for you<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The list of complaints that CBD can help with is endless. For all the benefits
more research is needed, but some of the
