the difference between CBD and THC
Cannabidiol, CBD is a pure natural ingredient extracted from the cannabis plant; it is one of the most medically valuable among the hundreds of active ingredients in cannabis.
CBD is the main non-psychiatric component of cannabis and has a variety of pharmacological effects, including analgesic and anti-inflammatory, anti-epileptic, and anti-anxiety.
Tetrahydrocannabinol, abbreviated as THC, is one of the cannabinoids, the main psychoactive substance in cannabis, and is listed in the first category of psychotropic substances for control.
Pure THC is a glassy solid at low temperatures, and its viscosity gradually increases as the temperature increases.
THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces highs of euphoria. It can also be used in oils, foods, tinctures, capsules, and more.

CBD and THC are the most common cannabinoids found in cannabis products.
THC and CBD are in both marijuana and hemp. Hemp has a lot of CBD, while marijuana contains much more THC.
CBD and THC have the same chemical formula — 21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. The difference lies in how the atoms are arranged. CBD and THC have different chemical properties, and they affect your body differently.
Effects on the Body
Both CBD and THC can affect pain, mood, sleep and memory.
