Navigating the world of cannabis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to understand the difference between THC and CBD ratios. At Air City Cannabis, we believe that informed choices lead to better experiences. Here's a simple guide to help you understand what those numbers mean and how to choose the right product for your needs.
What Are THC and CBD?
-
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound in cannabis. It’s what causes the “high.”
-
CBD (Cannabidiol) is non-psychoactive and is commonly used for relaxation, pain relief, and anxiety without the high.
Different products contain varying ratios of THC to CBD, and each combination affects your body and mind differently.
