Understanding THC and CBD
THC and CBD are the two cannabinoids you will see most often on a cannabis label. Knowing the basic difference makes it much easier to choose a product.
What CBD is
CBD is non-intoxicating, meaning on its own it does not produce a high. Many people choose CBD or balanced products when they want a non-intoxicating option or a softer experience alongside THC.
