THC Concentrate Effects Versus CBD Concentrate Effects

The effects of cannabis can vary based on the cannabinoid. When THC effects are compared with CBD concentrate effects, one can determine which is better suited for his or her preference.

THC is primarily responsible for creating the high that cannabis is known for, which can help with sleep and regulate eating habits. A THC high may also cause an individual to feel relaxed and euphoric.

However, a THC high can also produce a groggy feeling after the effects have worn off. There are many who prefer cannabidiol over THC because the effects of CBD can provide an individual with relief without getting high.

Although the two compounds share the same chemical formula, the atoms that makeup CBD and THC are arranged differently. The varied atom arrangement is why THC has psychoactive properties and produces the “stoned” feeling that is not seen with cannabidiol.

The effects of cannabidiol are reduced psychotic symptoms, reduced anxiety, and less inflammation. Cannabidiol is also used to treat convulsions and nausea, as noted above.
