CBD and THC can complement one another, despite their numerous differences. In fact, according to the "entourage effect," which is a theory that many experts agree with, the main cannabinoids—such as THC and CBD—function better when combined than when taken separately. This suggests that using THC and CBD at the same time could produce more potent medicinal effects. THC is one of the whole "spectrum" of cannabinoids included in full-spectrum CBD products, which are permitted to have up to 0.3% THC. In this article, we will explain the difference between CBD and THC and discuss the multiple benefits of utilizing these two cannabinoids together. 

What’s the Difference Between THC and CBD?

Both THC and CBD have distinct effects on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the human body.  Numerous processes, including appetite, mood, pain perception, and immunological response, are regulated by the ECS.  The euphoric effects typically linked to marijuana usage are caused by THC's direct binding to the CB1 receptors, which are mostly found in the brain.  Perception alterations, relaxation, and an improved sensory experience are all possible effects of THC.

On the other hand, CBD is neither psychotropic nor intoxicating.  It affects various receptor systems throughout the body by indirectly interacting with CB1 and CB2 receptors rather than directly connecting with them.  Numerous possible health benefits of CBD have been identified due to its interaction with the body's ECS. The potential of CBD to treat a range of illnesses without the negative effects typically linked to THC is a noteworthy benefit. Although more research is needed, CBD appears to have potential in treating illnesses like anxiety, epilepsy, and chronic pain. Additionally, because it has few adverse effects, CBD is a suitable choice for those looking for alternative treatments for such disorders.

THC is banned on a federal level and categorized as a controlled substance because of its psychoactive qualities. However, with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, CBD extracted from hemp plants became legal in the US. Customers can thereby take advantage of the possible advantages without worrying about legal repercussions.

What Is the Entourage Effect?

As previously stated, the best results from cannabis are obtained when combined. We refer to this phenomenon as "the entourage effect." Cannabinoids work well together, enhancing each other’s effects and ultimately balancing each other out. Full-spectrum cannabis products are therefore typically more effective than their isolated equivalents. Many Happy Fruit THC gummies contain smaller amounts of other cannabinoids. For instance, each of our Strawberry Lifted Lemonade Gummies contains 5 mg of THC, 5 mg of THCV, and 5 mg of CBG. This combination makes these the perfect choice for those who are looking to get a boost of energy from their THC gummies. On the other hand, every one of our Midnight REMberry Sleep Gummies contains 5 mg of THC, 5 mg of CBN, and 5 mg of CBNO.
