THC is a cannabinoid, a specific chemical entity found naturally in the cannabis plant that is responsible for the psychoactive effects that make you feel high. It works by binding to receptors in the brain and central nervous system (known as cannabinoid receptors) to produce intoxicating effects. THC is also what gives cannabis therapeutic effects. “It can help ease the pain and nausea associated with chemotherapy and it can help give you an appetite to eat,” Dr. Vandrey says. Cannabis with high levels of THC can be consumed in a variety of different ways by smoking, via an oil tincture placed under the tongue, or ingested as an oil in a capsule or in food. What Is CBD? CBD is a single chemical entity molecule and the second main cannabinoid found in cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive, i.e. it can’t get you high.

Despite the limited approved use, many people swear CBD helps relieve a slew of different conditions, including anxiety, pain, insomnia, as well as the side effects from chemotherapy. “Pure CBD is non-intoxicating and non-addictive and it has no abuse liability,” says Massachusetts General Hospital internist Peter Grinspoon, M.D. an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School and board member of the advocacy group Doctors For Cannabis Regulation.
