Two of the most commonly discussed compounds in medicinal cannabis are CBD and THC.

CBD (Cannabidiol)

CBD is a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis. This means it does not typically produce the “high” commonly associated with cannabis use.

CBD is commonly discussed in relation to:

• relaxation,
• stress support,
• sleep support,
• and overall wellbeing.

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. This means it may produce intoxicating effects depending on the product and dosage prescribed.

Doctors consider many factors when determining what treatment approach may be suitable for a patient.

Every patient is different, which is why professional medical guidance is important.
