If you have just stepped into the world of CBD, then a few questions are bound to arise. Questions like “Is CBD addictive?” or “How will CBD interact with my body?” are all common. And trust us, we have answered many!
Hence, today, we will address a few more questions like these to make things clearer for you. So let’s start!
Is CBD Addictive?
The answer to this is “NO”. CBD is not an addictive substance. Though it is derived from the cannabis plant, it does not hold any psychoactive or addictive properties. CBD is derived from the hemp plant, or the male cannabis plant which does not have THC. THC is the main compound that hooks the user to it. You may find it in other products but not in the ones containing CBD. In fact, CBD products are purely for therapeutic purposes and not for recreation.
How Will CBD React With My Body?
CBD or cannabidiol interacts with the ECS or endocannabinoid system of your body. The ECS is responsible for carrying out several functions in your body. However, it too may get a little out of shape at some time. That’s when CBD comes in. The substance can help your ECS function better and help with other issues like:
-
Inflammation
-
Depression and anxiety
-
Irregular appetite
-
Sleeping problems
-
Pain
What is THC?
THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is a cannabinoid present in the cannabis plant. This compound is found in the female cannabis plant, which is commonly known as marijuana. THC is a compound that holds the psychoactive properties. This means it can get you high. However, not all variants of this compound are equally psychoactive. Some variants like Delta 8 and Delta 10 offer mild euphoric effects. Whereas, another variant like Delta 9 offers an intense high.
Is THC Addictive?
Yes, it is! Since THC has mind-altering effects, it is addictive. The user enjoys the effects generated by the substance and is tempted to consume it again. This then leads them to develop dependence and addiction in a short while.
Therefore, when you go to buy a cannabis product, be sure to check if it contains CBD or THC. THC products are mainly derived from marijuana or the female cannabis plant. Also, THC products containing Delta 8 and 10 are safer than the ones containing Delta 9. Thus, consider your needs before choosing any product.
