Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are like two brothers in love. Both are natural compounds in the cannabis plant.
THC is a hallucinogenic component in cannabis, and THC content is an important standard for classifying cannabis.Compared with THC, CBD has more extensive application value. CBD has high healthcare value and has the potential to become a dietary supplement like a vitamin in the future.
THC and CBD are both called cannabinoids, but the mechanisms of action are quite different. THC and CBD interact differently with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). THC directly acts on the endocannabinoid system and binds to endocannabinoid receptors, so THC is psychoactive and addictive. Instead of binding directly to endogenous cannabinoid receptors, CBD acts on an enzyme that regulates the reuptake of endocannabinoids. In short, CBD is not psychoactive, and it allows the body to take in more of its own endocannabinoids to help the normal operation of ECS, thus keeping various human systems in balance.
Due to the high content of THC in cannabis and the properties that can cause neurological euphoria, THC is defined as an addictive component with psychoactive properties, and is also the biggest "culprit" of cannabis being defined as an illegal drug.
Hemp types depend on THC content, with industrial hemp (Hemp) defined as having a THC content of less than 0.3%. One of the most abundant cannabinoids is cannabidiol CBD.
CBD belongs to the non-addictive component of cannabis. It is the most widely used and legally recognized raw material in the market at present, because it is non-existent, psychoactive, non-addictive, legal and safe.
Experiments show that CBD has good antibacterial properties a.It has obvious effect on acne and other skin inflammation. By acting on the endogenous cannabinoid system in human body,CBD can regulate sebaceous secretion, maintain skin homeostasis, enhance skin barrier, and has anti-oxidation and anti-aging functions. It is a worthy dark horse ingredient.
