CBD vs THC

Although THC and CBD are closely related structurally and are obtained from the same plant, they have one stark difference that sets the two apart. THC is a psychostimulant and induces an intoxicated state in the users, rendering them “high”. CBD, on the other hand, lacks any such potential and does not make the users high.
Cannabis plant has several varieties. One of them is the marijuana plant which contains higher amounts of THC, due to which strict laws regulate its plantation and harvest. Another variety is called the hemp plant which contains CBD in high concentration and has less than 0.3% THC. Commercially available forms of CBD are obtained from the hemp plant and are virtually THC free.

How does CBD Oil Work?

Human bodies contain a complex system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS consists of chemicals called endocannabinoids and two different types of receptors called cannabinoid receptors- CB1 and CB2. These receptors are scattered throughout the body in different locations.
The cannabidiol present in CBD oil mimics the action of endocannabinoids and fits into the cannabinoid receptors just like a key fits into a lock. Via the endocannabinoid system, CBD can influence most of the physiological functions of the human body like muscle movements, digestion, metabolism, immunity, and nervous functions etc. This is how CBD delivers its health benefits.
