CBD vs THC
CBD or cannabidiol is an extract of the Cannabis plant (which we will see later can refer to multiple plants) known for its vast medicinal benefits. It has no psychotropic effects. Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, is prepared specifically for its psychoactive effects. Both CBD and THC are cannabinoids, a class of chemical compounds that act on the cannabinoid receptors in cells within your Central Nervous System (CNS for short), regulating the release of neurotransmitters in the brain. The body actually has a whole system, called the endocannabinoid system, which is a group of cannabinoid receptors in parts of the nervous system. The endocannabinoid system is responsible for the physiological and psychological effects of CBD and THC cannabinoids.
The Plant Family
Now that we know what CBD is, we need to understand the plant family from which CBD oil hails. Cannabidiol oil can come from either the marijuana plant or the hemp plant, both of which are members of the Cannabis plant family. When most people refer to Cannabis, they mean marijuana, but this is in fact incorrect and misleading. Here are the facts in simple terms:
Cannabis – a plant family that includes hemp and marijuana, among others. So when we talk about Cannabis, we’re not referring specifically to ‘weed’, we’re referring to the plant family.
Hemp – a member of the Cannabis sativa plant family. It grows tall, and the sturdy stalks are farmed for multiple purposes. It has relatively high amounts of CBD and less than 0.3% THC. It is also referred to as industrial hemp. In SA, it is still currently illegal to cultivate without a permit as it is classified under the Cannabis species, but the Department of Agriculture is petitioning to have it allowed.
Marijuana/dagga – arguably the commonly known associate of the Cannabis sativa family due to its psychotropic effects that give the user a ‘high’ sensation. It is generally grown for its high THC levels and is illegal to sell, though it has recently been decriminalised for personal use in the home. It is quite different in appearance to hemp, as the bush grows far smaller and is cultivated indoors.
