OK. We know. So many acronyms. But this is one of the most basic. Both THC and CBD are considered “cannabinoids” and can be derived from the Cannabis plant. Let’s start with CBD. It’s short for Cannabidiol. And is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. THC on the other hand is the more famous of the two and is the psychoactive part of the plant, and responsible for the euphoric effects. It stands for this extra-long word, Tetrahydrocannabinol. (Tetra means 4. And Hydro is short for hydrogen. Yay, molecules.) Research is currently being conducted into the combined effects of both working together with the Human Cannabinoid system. You will notice that most products are clearly labeled with their percentages of THC and CBD and that will help you discover what works best for you!
