Cannabis: A Quick Guide
Among cannabis' 120 cannabinoids, there are more than 120 different compounds. We'll simplify it as best we can. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are among the most well-known cannabinoids. There is a difference between THC, which will give you a "high," and CBD, which will not intoxicate or induce euphoria and can be used for medicinal purposes in oils, gummies, drinks, and other products. Psychoactive effects like euphoria and altered perception of time are caused by THC binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain. When THC binds to cannabinoids. In the brain, dopamine is released by activating receptors associated with reward and pleasure. THC consumption produces euphoric effects because of this flood of dopamine in the brain's reward pathway. On the other hand, CBD does not bind strongly with these receptors and produces the same intoxicating effects. Instead, CBD interacts with different receptors in the body, potentially offering therapeutic benefits such as pain relief and reduced inflammation.
