Notions for more conscious consumption

There are many cannabinoids produced by marijuana, but the best known, those found in greatest quantities are CBD and THC, with a molecular composition that is very similar but distant in terms.
THC: is responsible for the psychoactive effect of marijuana and produces the sensation of euphoria, well-being and increased appetite in the smoker. This is the most studied active ingredient of the plant and according to some analyzes it also increases sensory perceptions such as sight and hearing. In some cases it increases sexual arousal in both men and women and in the medical field it can be used as a painkiller and analgesic.

CBD: as already mentioned, is capable of modulating the effects of THC and unlike this it does not produce psychoactive effects. It essentially acts on the body by generating muscle relaxation and also soothing pain. Its relaxing effects also make it a powerful anxiolytic and antidepressant as well as an excellent painkiller. It is in fact used in the medical field for its extraordinary properties and the complete absence of psychoactive effects which make it free of excessive contraindications.
