There are over a 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that have multiple therapeutic properties that can promote better health for your body and mind.

When you ingest THC to your body system it may affect the cognitive functions mainly by interacting with your brain. CBD on the other hand, affects your body and the endocannabinoid system. CBD does not have psychoactive properties so it will not make you high and you can continue with your daily activities worry free.
