Hint # 1

THC – When ingested, THC binds primarily to our CB1 receptor sites as well as our CB2 receptors. As an agonist, it stimulates neurotransmission, promotes and produces activity.

CBD – Instead of activating your CB1 and CB2 receptors, CBD acts as an antagonist and blocks their processes. For example, epilepsy is often caused by overactive neuroreceptors that lead to seizures. If you introduce the right phytocannabinoids, they will take over and stop working.

Notable point – THC promotes receptor activity while CBD blocks it. So, if you’ve ingested too much THC and aren’t enjoying the effects, ingesting CBD can help block what’s happening.

Clue # 2

THC – If you want to get some THC into your system, you can get it from the resin of a female cannabis plant. However, it is not that simple; Activated THC (commonly referred to as Delta-9 or Delta-8 THC) is only present after the decarboxylation process. That said, you have to get rid of one carbon atom, and you can do it by adding heat.

CBD – This cannabinoid can be extracted from both male and female cannabis plants. Growing plants rich in CBD can be a tricky business, especially if you want to smoke CBD buds. CBD can break down faster than THC, which makes it a little more picky about the flowering cycle. Because of this, growers will typically harvest CBD buds a little earlier. CBD is often extracted from hemp.
