Cannabis is a type of plant that has psychoactive properties. It contains compounds known as cannabinoids, the most well-known being tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the compound responsible for producing the “high” associated with cannabis use, while CBD does not produce any intoxicating effects but may have other therapeutic benefits. Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including dried flower, edibles, tinctures, oils and concentrates.
