Why do cannabis beverages contain THC and CBD?
In the realm of cannabis beverages, from weed-infused cannabis water, gummies and more the choice extends beyond merely getting high. But where does CBD fit in? It might not induce a high, but it tempers the psychoactive effects of THC.
How Do THC and CBD Influence Us?
The cannabis plant is rich in cannabinoids, with THC and CBD being the most prevalent. These cannabinoids interact with endocannabinoid receptors in our brains and throughout our bodies.
The endocannabinoid system is a vital network that helps regulate key processes like sleep, mood, and temperature, playing a crucial role in maintaining overall health.
While THC is psychoactive, CBD is not. This distinction means THC produces the high, while CBD doesn’t. This is why some people take CBD as a daily supplement.
Our brains house two primary endocannabinoid receptors: CB1 and CB2. CB1 is mainly responsible for the mind-altering effects, while CB2 deals with inflammation and immune responses.
THC binds strongly to CB1, while CBD doesn’t bind as tightly to either receptor, resulting in a milder effect.
Why Does Cannabis Contain CBD?
All THC-containing products naturally contain CBD. They coexist in all cannabis strains and complement each other. Higher THC strains typically have lower CBD content, and vice versa.
While THC and CBD are well-known cannabinoids, cannabis contains over 60 other cannabinoids, terpenes, and phytochemicals. These compounds synergistically enhance the overall therapeutic effects of cannabis.
Consuming CBD-rich cannabis can reduce the psychoactive effects of THC, moderating the high while retaining its anti-stress, anti-anxiety, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
