What’s The Difference Between THC and CBD?

Both THC and CBD are naturally occurring cannabis compounds that are known as cannabinoids, or more accurately phytocannabinoids.

​

The primary difference between THC and CBD is that THC is psychoactive, while CBD is generally considered to be non-psychoactive or non-intoxicating.

There are countless other cannabinoids like CBN, CBG, CBC, and others all with unique properties, but THC and CBD compromise the majority of cannabis’ chemical profile.

​

The compounds are synthesized within glands called trichomes located on the flowers’ calyxes. This gives dried cannabis flowers a frosty appearance.

​

The cannabinoids, and other compounds such as the aromatic chemicals in cannabis called terpenes, are extracted and separated from the plant material to make consumer products.
