CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) are both natural compounds found in the cannabis plant. However, the effects of these two compounds are different. CBD is not psychotropic, so it does not cause any psychoactive effects (will not get you “high”), rather it may play a different role in the plant’s medicinal value, if any. THC is psychotropic and is most known for causing psychoactive effects.
