CBD Vs. THC:  Terms To Know

What’s the difference between CBD and THC: As the legal use of marijuana and other cannabis products grows, consumers are becoming more curious about their options. This includes Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), two natural compounds found in plants of the Cannabis genus.—Healthline.com.

Here is a list of the most commonly used CBD terms. While this is not a complete guide to CBD terms, the explanations will most likely answer many of your questions.

Cannabidiol

Also known as CBD. They are the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBD does not have psychoactive effects.  Consider CBD as the nickname for Cannabidiol.

Hemp

A strain of cannabis grown for industrial use. The hemp used for CBD products must contain less than 3% THC.

THC

THC is the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana that gives the high sensation. If you have been following along, you know that CBD use does not provide that high sensation.

Psychoactive

A psychoactive substance is a chemical substance that acts primarily upon the central nervous system. It alters brain function, resulting in temporary changes in perception, mood, consciousness, and behavior. CBD, unlike marijuana, is not psychoactive.

Terpenes

Aromatic organic compounds: The types and amounts of terpenes in different strains of cannabis can determine how that strain will taste and smell. Some claim how it will affect your mood.

Full Spectrum CBD

CBD that is full of all of the terpenes, cannabinoids, flavonoids and fatty acids found in hemp. In other words, it contains the full spectrum of benefits.

Broad Spectrum CBD

CBD extracted from the cannabis plant with all of the other compounds from the plant except for THC. That means it contains terpenes, essential oils, and other cannabinoids from the plant.

Edibles

Any food containing some form of cannabis. An example would be the Purity CBD Gummies.
