Benefits of CBD and THC together

The two most prominent cannabinoids in the cannabis plant are Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC and  Cannabidiol or CBD. Both have different health benefits specific to each and, when combined, have shown mutual benefits. In this article, we will discuss the difference between CBD and THC and some of the positive advantages of combining both.

What Is The Difference Between THC And CBD?

While Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is more often associated with the high feeling, we get when smoking or ingesting cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is responsible for the calming, anxiety and pain-relieving effects of cannabis. Both hold the same molecular structure: 30 hydrogen atoms, 21 carbon atoms and two oxygen atoms.

THC

Tetrahydrocannabidol is the cannabinoid that produces the high and gives the feeling of euphoria and relaxation when taking. But if an inexperienced user takes high doses, it may also have some adverse effects such as a rise in paranoia and increased anxiety. Many people use THC for treating medical conditions. Here are some of the potential benefits from THC usage:

• Glaucoma
• Muscle Spasticity
• Low Appetite
• Attention-deficit

Tetrahydrocannabinol may be used as a great tool to increase creativity and enhance focus.  Check out our article here on how THC can stimulate the brain.

CBD

CBD is a legal cannabinoid that is FDA-approved in the USA for Epidiolex, a treatment for a rare form of childhood epilepsy. Many people use CBD-derived products to treat ailments such as anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain relief and much more. 

CBD has been proven to have anti-cancer properties by alleviating side effects from chemotherapy. Some reports say that taking CBD  helps the growth of new brain cells.  Many medical patients use CBD-derived products such as CBD tinctures, balms, concentrates or more traditionally dried flowers containing a high-CBD content.

Benefits of Combining THC and CBD

Now that we know the difference between CBD and THC, it’s now time to understand the effects when ingested in conjunctions and the benefits they provide. 

Both cannabinoids work together in harmony and may help to mitigate some of the intoxicating effects of THC. 

A specific harmony happens when you combine both cannabinoids together and produces effects and benefits that can only occur while both CBD and THC work together. 

This unique synergy is called the “Entourage Effect”
