- Learn the difference between CBD and THC 

Plants of the cannabis species contain more than 100 cannabinoids, but two of them are the main ones: THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (Cannabidiol). Each one produces different effects on the nervous system and the recreational and therapeutic functions that are given to the plants of this species are derived from them. 

THC is the component of marijuana that is mostly prohibited or restricted by most countries in the world. This is because it is the psychoactive component and among its main effects it increases appetite, increases the sensation of pleasure when eating, produces drowsiness and affects short-term memory. THC is the main component for recreational uses of marijuana. 

CBD, on the other hand, counteracts the effects of THC in several aspects, reduces the feeling of anxiety and has antipsychotic properties. It is also the most sought after component in medicinal marijuana strains.

CBD has anti-inflammatory properties far superior to THC and lacks psychotropic effects, making it safe for any patient. It also has an anticonvulsant effect, reduces muscle spasms, is anxiolytic and helps in the treatment of schizophrenia. 

In this video you can learn more about these two components, their differences, effects and benefits.
