Differences Between CBD, THC, and Other Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids like CBD and THC have different effects on the body. Here we explore their differences and uses.

Differences

Understanding cannabinoids helps you choose the product that best suits your needs:

• CBD: Non-psychoactive, used for anxiety, pain, and inflammation.
• THC: Psychoactive, associated with euphoria and relaxation.
• CBG, CBN, CBC: Other cannabinoids with potential health benefits.
• Delta-8 THC: A milder variant of THC with softer psychoactive effects.
• Delta-9 THC: The most common and potent form of THC, responsible for the “high.”
• Delta-10 THC: Less researched but known for its stimulating and euphoric effects.
• HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol): A semi-synthetic cannabinoid with effects similar to THC but greater chemical stability.
• THC-O: A synthetic derivative of THC with significantly higher potency.
