Meet CBD and THC
CBD and THC are two common compounds found in cannabis. They each have distinct properties:
- CBD (Cannabidiol): Known for relaxation, pain relief, and anxiety reduction. It won't get you high.
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Responsible for the cannabis "high." It also has therapeutic uses but may cause psychoactive effects.
Uncomplicating CBD:THC Ratios
Products often combine CBD and THC in different proportions, noted as "CBD:THC" or "CBD to THC." Here's what it means:
- More CBD, Less THC (e.g., 20:1): If you want the benefits of CBD without the high, this ratio is your go-to for anxiety and relaxation.
- Equal CBD:THC (e.g., 1:1): This balance offers both CBD and THC effects, making it versatile for various purposes.
