CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It does not produce a high and is studied for potential benefits such as relaxation, sleep support and discomfort relief when used responsibly.

THC, or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It can produce euphoria and altered perception but may also have therapeutic applications, including pain and nausea management, when used under medical supervision and within legal limits.

Does CBD make you high?
