Question 12 – What is the difference between CBD and THC?  Okay, the next question is, what is the difference between CBD and THC? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh man. So between the two you know, You would start with the medical cannabis plant. THC and CBD are the compounds that are found in that plant naturally. That’s where they come from.
Obviously you can get CBD from turmeric root and black pepper and clove and holy basil and a handful of other substances but it’s most predominantly found in industrial hemp or medical cannabis.
And so, and those are the proper terms that we would use for those specific versions of this, of the strains of that same family of plants, you know just like you have, like, you know, a Chihuahua and a Husky, it’s like they’re all dogs, but they’re different versions of a dog, right? So THC is the compound in medical cannabis that is most closely associated with a high and with the more psychedelic effects that produce just almost everything you’re familiar with, like what, what you would stereotypically when discussing cannabis and, and everything that kind of goes with that.
CBD, in its relationship to THC, they’re like yin and yang. So, CBD is the part out of the medical cannabis that keeps you grounded, that keeps you chill is the part that kind of eases anxiety, eases tension, eases the hammering of that monkey mind. Helps you to get like good, nice, clean, clear thought and in the way that I experience it, it reminds me a lot of like a nice healthy dose of magnesium or maybe like GABA or even the nice calm clear focus that I have with like a nice cup of matcha before I feel sketchy.
Matcha can make me feel kind of sketchy. You know, just like meh. When, and I mean, I do fine with tea and coffee. I love espresso but I don’t do matcha too much, can make me feel sketchy, but there’s a nice clear focus just that it can kind of produce right before the sketch kicks in, which is really nice.
And so, that’s kind of how I experience it, but that’s the difference between CBD. And THC. THC produces the psychedelic aspects of medical cannabis. CBD balances out those effects so that you’re having a pleasant experience. Okay? Okay.
