These two cannabinoids play very well together — that’s why Mother Nature put them in the same plant in the first place. Let’s look at how CBD and THC interact with our bodies to better understand how they work together.
CBD and delta-9 THC are two of hundreds of compounds found in the cannabis plant known as cannabinoids. THC and other cannabinoids, like CBG, CBC, and CBN, interact with receptors in a system in our bodies known as the endocannabinoid system. Delta-9 THC is the only major cannabinoid that is psychoactive and causes a high in large amounts.
The endocannabinoid system is integrated with our central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as tissues and systems in our body that regulate mood, sleep, immune response, and more. When a cannabinoid interacts with a receptor in the endocannabinoid system, it imparts therapeutic effects.
In addition to cannabinoids, two other types of valuable compounds are found in cannabis and work with THC and CBD. These are terpenes and flavonoids. Terpenes are the compounds that give plants like cannabis, tea, sage, and more their scent. Flavonoids are the compounds that give fruits, vegetables, flowers and more their color. In addition to these characteristics, both terpenes and flavonoids are rich in other therapeutic benefits.
Cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids work together to create something known as the Entourage Effect. This is a synergistic process through which each individual ingredient modifies the effects of others while also contributing to a much more powerful overall effect.
In short, it’s the way the cannabis plant was intended to operate before we began extracting individual compounds. And this is where delta-9 THC comes so heavily into play with CBD products.
By ensuring that the full legal amount of THC is present in our full spectrum CBD products, we create the best-possible environment for the full Entourage Effect, making the best-performing formulas possible.
