What is CBD oil And Its Uses?

CBD oil is an extract from a plant named cannabis. The other active substance which can be found in a cannabis plant is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has some psychoactive properties which CBD does not have but it has a number of the same medical benefits as THC.

CBD and THC

The two compounds in marijuana are delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol.  Both of these compounds have different effects from each other.

Until very recently, the best-known compound in Cannabis was THC. THC is the most active constituent of cannabis; it has a psychological effect. THC creates a mind-altering high in a person who uses it in cooking or smokes it.

In contrast to THC, CBD is not psychoactive. It doesn’t change the state of mind of a person who consumes it, but it may produce a significant change in a person’s body and show some significant medical benefits.
