Did you know, CBD (Cannabidiol) can counteract the psychoactive effects of THC? While THC is known for causing the “high” associated with marijuana, CBD has been shown to reduce the buzz. Not only does it reduce the high, but the anxiety, paranoia, and other negative side effects that some people experience when consuming weed. Remember that next time you or a buddy gets way too baked.

It might sound crazy that one compound found in the plant can counteract another one, but this is because CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system differently than THC does. It can modulate the effects of THC on the brain. This surprising interaction between CBD and THC highlights the complex nature of the cannabis plant and the importance of understanding the unique properties of each cannabinoid. That’s why this section of Express Highs Blog is so valuable, it explores the scientific side of everyone’s favorite recreational and medicinal herb.

One of the most popular reasons people use CBD is for pain relief. Alleviating inflammation is one of the reasons it seems to work for folks.

Skin conditions, epilepsy, addiction managements and more are all reasons users love CBD and why more research is desperately needed to get to the facts behind the compound.

So, spark one up or crack open a beverage and get comfortable because there is plenty of fun and curious information regarding CBD here for you to explore. Whether you choose to get your hemp in pill, tincture, flower or extract, there’s always something to learn. And if all that sounds overwhelming, maybe try some CBD for that anxiety.
