An In-depth Look At CBD And THC
Both elements are types of cannabinoids present in marijuana. However, the two are very different in terms of how they interact with the body and the results produced. Cannabinoids are generally used to treat pain, nausea, appetite loss, and anxiety. In this article, we’ll compare the two cannabinoids in detail.
- A Comparison – The Differences
In spite of the fact that these two are gotten from the same plant, they differ in some ways. For example, CBD lacks the psychoactive effects found in THC that make the person get high.
This may be attributed to the fact that CDB and THC interact with different receptors in the brain. While CBD is unlikely to get people high, THC gets people high and is, therefore, used for recreational use.
Marijuana that is used for medical purposes usually doesn’t contain high levels of THC so the patient will not feel high afterward.

- A Comparison – The Legality
In some countries, the use of marijuana for medical purposes has been approved. However, other countries have strict regulatory laws that prohibit the sale or even prescription of marijuana.

Also, there are some countries that approve the use of marijuana for recreational purposes.
Before you acquire marijuana either for recreational or medical use, it’s advisable that you look into the laws to see whether it’s legal or not. If the laws forbid it and you’re caught using marijuana for whatever purposes, you could face legal problems.
As more governments look into the usage of marijuana, the laws keep changing so keep checking to stay informed.
