WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CBD AND THC?

There is a major difference in the experience of using CBD and THC. The main difference is that THC is a psychoactive. It affects the brain in a mind-altering experience. This happens because of the scientific process of molecules binding to naturally-occurring CB-1 receptors in the central nervous system. CBD is a non-psychoactive. It is a completely different shape of the molecule that binds to CB-2 receptors in cell and body tissues outside the central nervous system. This difference directly reveals itself in the way our bodies and minds connect with the plant.

Tinctures are taken sublingual (placed under the tongue and then swallowed). Capsules and gummies are digested and smoke-ables are inhaled (Controversial). Each of these delivery methods are effective but sublingual is most common with great results. It is very important to note that each individual experiences CBD differently. Dosages vary from person to person. Each individual will need to experiment with dosage size to find what works best for.
