Cannabis and its two major compounds

Cannabis is known for its effects of creating a high. People consume it mostly for recreational purposes and to relax but many studies have proven their health benefits too. There are many studies and tests that have been done and the results were astounding. Few places have also legalized the use of marijuana for medical as well as recreational purposes. It has also been proved that marijuana helps in curing cancer by killing the cancer cells.

The two major compounds of marijuana are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabinoid).

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)

THC is the compound that creates the psychotic effects by binding itself to certain receptors in our nervous system. This is the high producing compound of marijuana and gives a sense of elation to the consumer and hence people look for high concentration of THC in marijuana to use it for recreational purposes. There are a lot of positive effects of THC that include feeling enthusiastic, motivated and relaxed.

CBD (cannabinoid)

Unlike THC, CBD does not have any high producing effects. It is also a very important compound of marijuana and is used mostly for medical purposes. CBD is extracted from marijuana to be used in oils, supplements etc. and helps with conditions like seizures, anxiety, depression and much more.
Other compounds of marijuana have also proved to be of use and continuous studies are being done to reach to positive conclusions.

Cheap cannabis seeds in Canada can be found online and one can choose from a wide variety according to the needs.
