  • CBD vs THC- What's the difference? - Cannabis Seeds FAQ

CBD and THC share many similarities, but they also have important differences. So what is exactly the difference between CBD and THC? And should you choose cannabis with high or low THC or CBD? It is not that one is better than the other. Your choice depends on the benefits and effects you're looking for. 

What is THC?

THC (Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol)  is a well known psychoactive cannabinoid and is responsible for the majority of the effects that you get from marijuana consumption. Ultimately THC is what gets you “High.” The more THC you consume the stronger effects you will get.

THC mostly has a wide range of cerebral effects, which can make you feel happy, euphoric, energetic, anxious, paranoid or even nervous. Medicinally THC has been shown to have anti-depressant effects and even relieves pain and insomnia. It also induces relaxation and stimulates the appetite, which has shown to be useful with cancer and anorexia patients. Most cured cannabis buds range from 12%-21% THC content and if grown properly can reach even higher levels.

What is CBD?

CBD (Cannabidiol)is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, which is known for changing the effects of consumed THC. CBD increases the happy, euphoric and cerebral effects of THC while decreasing paranoia, anxiety and nervousness. This cannabinoid is almost always in much lower concentrations than THC in most cannabis plants, usually less than 1%. In rare strains, CBD concentrations can outweigh THC levels.

Medicinally CBD has been shown to relieve anxiety, pain, muscle spasms, inflammation, and convulsions. So it is great for patients with MS, fibromyalgia, and epilepsy. During a study when CBD was combined with THC and injected into breast and brain tumors, it was shown to inhibit cancer cell growth.
