CANNABIS LEGALIZED

CBD vs THC
Cannabis plants produce chemical compounds known as cannabinoids. These compounds interact with our bodies via the endocannabinoid system.
The two most well-known cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). For decades, researchers have known that THC is responsible for the famous cannabis high. CBD can serve to balance the effects of THC, and provides a range of symptom relief and medical potential.
