CBD and THC are similar molecules with distinct characteristics. CBD is non-intoxicating, while THC can produce mind-altering effects. Both interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) and are used to address various ailments. By adjusting the CBD-to-THC ratio in products, their effects can be tailored to specific needs, though many states regulate the allowable THC content. Both cannabinoids are naturally found in the flowers of the hemp plant.

CBD works with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a vital role in regulating various biological processes, including sleep, appetite, immune function, pain response, and mood. Because the ECS influences so many functions, modulating it can produce wide-ranging effects. Unlike most pharmaceuticals, which involve a single compound targeting one specific receptor to produce a specific effect, CBD and other hemp extracts interact with multiple ECS receptors in diverse ways. This complexity makes it challenging to link one compound to a single receptor or effect, posing significant hurdles for CBD and plant-based derivatives in clinical trials.

CBD is naturally produced in the cannabis plant, primarily in the flowers of unpollinated female plants. Alongside other cannabinoids found in hemp, CBD serves as a natural antifungal, antibacterial, and insecticidal agent, helping to protect the plant from environmental threats.
