Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two natural compounds found in plants of the Cannabis genus. Both compounds interact with body’s endocannabinoid system. The only difference is that is THC is a psychoactive compound and CBD is a non-psychoactive compound. Simply put, THC can make you “high” unlike CBD.
This one difference changes the landscape facing THC, completely. THC does not enjoy the same legal validity as CBD. More and more consumers becoming aware of the purported health benefits of CBD and pushing up it’s sale. In this time when CBD is gaining momentum, THC businesses are concerned about losing sales and profits.
