Cannabidiol (CBD) is a therapeutic that has been trending these past few years, from companies integrating it into wellness products to baristas adding it to coffees and teas. However, many people do not understand the difference between CBD and THC (tetrahydrocannabinoids), the psychoactive compound in cannabis. While these two components derive from the same cannabis plant, they both vary in effect and action.

The Difference Between CBD and THC
It is common to see both CBD and THC listed in various products, but it is often confusing to differentiate the two. CBD stands for cannabinoids, while THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinoids. Many researchers consider these two compounds to be siblings as the same plant produces them and they have similar chemical structures, but they vary in their provided effects and mechanism of action. (1)
About CBD
CBD is the non-psychoactive compound that the cannabis plant produces. (1) This means that CBD does not affect your brain function or consciousness in a way that intoxicates you. CBD interacts with several different brain receptors to achieve its effects, and it can relieve pain, improve sleep, and improve daily comfort and overall wellness. Legally, CBD products must have below a 0.3% level of THC to prevent any level of intoxication, and you can ingest it, smoke it, or apply it topically.
About THC
THC is the psychoactive or psychotropic compound of the cannabis plant. THC offers both recreational and medicinal benefits, such as pain alleviation, improved relaxation, and can even be used to aid the treatment of more serious conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or Huntington’s disease. (1) THC additionally binds to the CB1 receptors in the brain directly, which are cannabinoid receptors that can regulate motor control, pain perception, emotional regulation, and reward processing. (3)
The Benefits of CBD
CBD offers numerous benefits when you apply it topically, ingest it, or inhale it. These can include:
- Improved Sleep Quality: Certain dosages of CBD can help you fall asleep faster and gain better quality sleep overall. CBD can also increase your REM sleep latency
- Reduced Anxiety: CBD products can interact with certain neuroreceptors to reduce anxiety-related behaviors, decreasing the effects of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. CBD has additionally been shown to mitigate the cognitive deficits related to recalling traumatic events in patients with PTSD. (2)
- Promotes Anti-Seizure Qualities: CBD can reduce the metabolism of certain anti-seizure medications, improving their length of effect and response.
- Pain Alleviation: When taken in higher doses, CBD offers analgesic properties and reduces pain-associated behaviors in neuropathic pain models by targeting multiple, different proteins in the body.
- Improvements in Attention or Communication Deficits: Scientists have found that CBD may support patients diagnosed with autism who may struggle with persistent attention and communication deficits.
- Supports the Treatment of Drug Abuse: Different studies have shown that CBD can reduce cue-induced cravings and anxiety in patients being treated for drug abuse disorders, especially opioid addictions. CBD has also shown promise in helping with alcohol addiction and may mitigate withdrawal-related symptoms. (1)
How Do You Consume CBD?
There are several ways to consume CBD, with the most common and widely available methods being ingestion, inhalation, or topical application. With these three different administration methods, you can select which approach and products are best for you.
Flower
Can be smoked in a glass pipe or water bong and can be grinded into a paper for a relaxing joint. Available strain: Cannatonic; Cannatonic is a mostly CBD cannabis strain made by crossing MK Ultra and G13 Haze. This strain produces a mellow high that is also uplifting and powerfully relaxing. Medical cannabis patients choose Cannatonic to treat pain, muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines. This strain has a slightly earthy odor with a sweet citrus flavor and bright orange hairs.
Edibles
Edibles are consumable goods that contain CBD within them. You can consume them orally to attain their wellness benefits. These can include items like baked goods, candies, savory snacks, or drinks.
A few of our favorite products include:
Vaporizer
CBD vaporizers are battery-powered products that heat CBD oils to a temperature where they vaporize. You then inhale the vapor. This method offers a faster onset of duration, and vape devices are typically portable for easy, on-the-go use.
We suggest trying:
Topicals
Topical products consist of balms or salves that you apply to the skin topically. These products can provide quick relief from pain, inflammation, or soreness while improving your overall wellness.
We recommend:
Tinctures
Tinctures are CBD infusions that you can include in foods or drinks, swallow, or apply beneath the tongue. They consist of oils infused with CBD.
Our most popular tinctures include:
