Understanding CBD and THC

First things first! Let’s get to know the stars of the show:


CBD (Cannabidiol):

Known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high. It’s popular for its potential benefits in reducing anxiety, pain, and inflammation.


THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol):

This is the psychoactive compound that gives you that classic cannabis high. THC can provide pain relief, stimulate appetite, and offer a sense of euphoria.

Finding Your Ideal THC to CBD Ratio


Choosing the right ratio depends on your individual needs and tolerance levels. Here are a few tips to help you find your perfect balance:


Start Low, Go Slow - If you’re new to cannabis or trying a new ratio, start with a lower THC content and gradually increase until you find your sweet spot.

Consider Your Symptoms - Consider what you’re hoping to achieve. For anxiousness and mild pain, higher CBD ratios are usually best. For more severe pain or recreational use, a balanced or THC-dominant ratio might be more effective.
