THC vs. CBD and the medical benefits of each

Lonestar Cannabis • Apr 12, 2023
THC and CBD are two of the most well-known cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. While both THC and CBD have potential medical benefits, they have different effects on the body, making them effective against different conditions.

THC is effective against chronic and neuropathic pain

THC is known for its psychoactive effects, producing the "high" associated with marijuana use. However, it also has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and antiemetic (anti-nausea) properties, making it effective against conditions such as chronic pain, neuropathic pain, multiple sclerosis, and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. THC has also been found to increase appetite and reduce muscle spasticity in some patients.



CBD is effective against PTSD and epilepsy

CBD, on the other hand, is non-psychoactive and does not produce a "high." Instead, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and neuroprotective properties. CBD has been found to be effective against conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and some types of epilepsy.



THC and CBD effect on cancer

One of the most promising areas of research on the medical benefits of THC and CBD is in the treatment of cancer. Both compounds have been found to have anti-cancer properties, and research has shown that they can help inhibit the growth of cancer cells. THC and CBD have also been found to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.



THC and CBD effect on neurological conditions

THC and CBD have also been found to be effective against certain neurological conditions. THC has been found to reduce muscle spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis, while CBD has been found to have potential as a treatment for Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
