What are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are a class of chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. They interact with the receptors in the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

The two most well-known cannabinoids are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).

What Is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound found in Cannabis. It is responsible for the “High” or intoxicating effects associated with Cannabis consumption. When THC interacts with the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and central nervous system, it produces various physiological and psychological effects.

What Is Cannabidiol (CBD)?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. It is one of over 100 cannabinoids identified in cannabis and is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not product the “High” associated with Cannabis consumption. CBD is known for its potential therapeutic benefits, including its use in relieving pain, reducing anxiety, and promoting relaxation.
