In essence, CBD and THC have the same origin: both chemical compounds can be derived from hemp plants.
Even so,their effect on the human body is very different.
THC is a psychoactive component that is responsible for the sensation of being “high” after smoking or otherwise consuming marijuana.
CBD doesn’t have that effect. It interacts with the endocannabinoid located in the human brain that is naturally responsible for stress and anxiety relief, as well as multiple other bodily functions. By stimulating it, CBD brings a calming sensation to the body and mind.
