Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a versatile plant known for its psychoactive properties. It contains various compounds, with two key players: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). These compounds, known as “cannabinoids”, interact with our bodies to produce different effects.
What are strains?
There are three main types of cannabis strains: Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. Indica strains are typically relaxing and calming, Sativa strains are energizing, and Hybrid offers a balanced experience.
What are cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are the natural compounds found in the cannabis plant. THC is known for its psychoactive properties and is associated with the “high.” CBD is another cannabinoid believed to have potential benefits without the psychoactive effects.
