Understanding Cannabis
Cannabis is a plant that contains naturally occurring compounds known as cannabinoids, along with terpenes and other plant compounds. Two of the most widely discussed cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).
THC and CBD
THC is the cannabinoid most commonly associated with the intoxicating effects of cannabis. CBD generally does not produce the same intoxicating effect as THC. However, cannabis products can vary considerably in their cannabinoid concentrations and overall effects.
Cannabinoids and Terpenes
Cannabis contains a range of cannabinoids and aromatic compounds called terpenes. Different varieties and products can have different cannabinoid and terpene profiles, which is why reading product information carefully is important.
Responsible Use
Cannabis products should be used responsibly and in accordance with the laws applicable to your location. Customers should carefully read product labels and instructions and should not use products in ways that conflict with applicable laws or safety guidance.
Cannabis products may not be appropriate for everyone. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, have a medical condition, or have concerns about possible interactions, consult a qualified healthcare professional before using cannabis-related products.
