Understanding THC

What is THC?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for the "high" sensation. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, influencing mood, pain perception, appetite, and more.

How Does THC Work?

THC binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and body, triggering various effects such as euphoria, relaxation, and heightened sensory perception. The impact depends on the strain, dosage, and individual tolerance.

Types of THC Products

THC comes in various forms, each offering a unique experience.

  • Flower: Traditional cannabis buds for smoking or vaping.

  • Edibles: THC-infused foods and beverages for long-lasting effects.

  • Tinctures: Liquid extracts taken sublingually for fast absorption.

  • Concentrates: Potent forms like wax, shatter, and live resin.

  • Topicals: THC-infused creams for localized relief without psychoactive effects.

THC vs. CBD: What’s the Difference?

Psychoactivity: THC binds directly to CB1 receptors in the brain, leading to euphoria and altered sensory perception. CBD, on the other hand, does not bind to these receptors in the same way, meaning it does not cause a high.

Medical Applications: THC is often used for pain relief, nausea reduction, and appetite stimulation. CBD is commonly sought for its anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and neuroprotective properties.

Legal Differences: THC is heavily regulated and often only legal in certain states or countries, while CBD, especially derived from hemp, is legal in more regions due to its non-psychoactive nature.

Side Effects: THC can cause dry mouth, red eyes, increased heart rate, and occasional anxiety or paranoia in high doses. CBD generally has fewer side effects, with some users reporting drowsiness or digestive issues.

Product Availability: Products that contain THC are often available through licensed dispensaries, while CBD products can be found in various health stores, pharmacies, and online retailers.

While both are cannabinoids, THC is psychoactive, whereas CBD is non-intoxicating. Many products combine both to create the entourage effect, enhancing therapeutic benefits.
