THC and CBD. Understanding the difference.
Two cannabinoids with distinct effects.
THC
Associated with the effects of cannabis.
THC is the cannabinoid generally responsible for the effects experienced with cannabis products. It can temporarily affect perception, mood, attention or coordination.
CBD
Without a pronounced effect.
CBD is associated with a gentler, more subtle experience than THC. It does not affect perception, sensations or coordination in the same way, and can be used on its own or alongside THC for a more balanced profile.

Understanding the full product profile
A few key details help distinguish what makes each product different.
Potency
Spot the amounts of THC and CBD.
Potency is usually shown as a percentage on the package. It shows how much of each cannabinoid the product contains.
The ratio
Compare their proportion.
Some products contain more THC, others more CBD, or a combination of both. This ratio can offer an indication of the type of experience associated with the product.
The format
It also shapes the experience.
Flower, pre-rolls, oils, edibles: each format has its own characteristics and can influence how and when the cannabinoids are felt.
Keep in mind
Percentages are an indicator, not a certainty.
THC and CBD levels help place a product’s profile in context and compare it with others. The format you choose, how the product is used and your own sensitivity also play a part in the experience.
