CBD (Cannabidiol) and CBD (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) are among the over 113 chemical compounds referred to as cannabinoids, which marijuana (cannabis) contains. Since they are similar in their therapeutic usefulness, the most significant difference is found in their influence on the human body and life.
This paper lays out the contrast of CBD Vs THC. In current years, the potential benefits and effects of cannabis have drawn interest towards focusing on the two cannabinoids.
Pictorial Presentation of CBD VS THC
Meta Title: A Contrast of CBD Vs THC
Introduction:
Different effects are produced on the end-users depending on the modification of strains. Some of these effects are short-term and mild, while others have a longer effect which can sometimes get out of control and be adverse to human life. Therefore, it is imperative to use cannabinoids under strict observation of professional medical personnel or any related supervision.
Both Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) are psychoactive cannabinoids. In the study of CBD Vs THC, we realize that CBD has a milder influence on a person than THC, which can generate a high. Before using either THC or CBD, it is necessary to get familiar with the local government laws governing the consumption of drugs.
Body
Side Effects
Neither THC nor CBD has obvious side effects that are serious nor fatal if taken in the right doses. However, in some people who take THC, large and regular quantities may cause schizophrenia or addiction. In most cases of recreational uptake, there is little risk of addiction.
On the other hand, taking a comparison of CBD Vs THC, it is a fact that CBD has no side effects, making it more user friendly except for its interaction with other drugs which an individual might be taking.
An individual taking THC is presupposed to some temporary mild side effects like; red eyes, a dry mouth, slower than average response times, memory loss, increased heart rate, a general feeling of being high, issues with coordination.
Teenagers have been known to experience adverse psychiatric effects from getting high due to their apparent developing brain.
Source
As much as both THC and CBD are found in marijuana, people who take CBD’s dominant dose of medical marijuana use hemp CBD, which is related to marijuana closely.
THC originates from the marijuana plant, and people usually extract it directly from that source. Therefore considering CBD Vs THC, CBD is a more direct extract than THC, which has undergone more processing.
Physical Influence
Although both are cannabinoids, THC and CBD interact with slightly different receptors in a person’s brain. Whereas CBD is unlikely to get an individual high, THC creates a high similar to recreational marijuana.
CBD dominant medical marijuana has minimal THC. Therefore a person on its medication will not feel high. On the other hand, THC containing medical marijuana will cause a high in its patients. Considering CBD Vs, THC CBD has a higher influence on its users than THC.
Conclusion
Whereas both CBD and THC are extracts of the same plant, their processing has made a difference in their influence on the human body. Hence CBD being a stronger drug, has a more powerful effect on the human body than THC. Because of its mildness, THC becomes an easier drug to administer than CBD.
