CBD is markedly different from THC. CBD does not cause intoxicating or euphoric effects – the high feeling – like THC does. Although CBD is not intoxicating, it is psychoactive, meaning that it affects the brain. It is because CBD is psychoactive that it can have effects on things like mood. The manner in which CBD affects the body is also very different compared to THC. While THC directly stimulates the cannabinoid receptors in our Endocannabinoid System (ECS), CBD indirectly stimulates the body’s ECS by making the body produce endocannabinoids and helping those endocannabinoids circulate in the body longer.
