Marijuana (THC) & Hemp (CBD) are two breeds of plant under the same species...CANNABIS. Think of it in terms of Milk. You have Whole Milk and Skim Milk. They are different, but yet still both Milk. Hemp is essentially Cannabis with less than 0.3% THC. Therefore, it won't get you "high".
To fully understand the endocannabinoid system, it's best to think of it as a bridge: a bridge between the mind and body and between various organ systems. It is incredibly important in the body's ongoing, constant hunt for homeostasis.
The term itself comes from the word "endogenous" which refers to anything that is produced naturally in the body, and "cannabinoid", which is any compound specifically found in the cannabis plant. The endogenous cannabinoid, as the basis for the system's name, illustrates the bridge between cannabis based compounds and natural compounds within the body that work together to help the body achieve a full, true sense of health.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that’s become increasingly popular since hemp was federally legalized. Many people use CBD products because CBD is said to have numerous health benefits.
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects. It acts much like the cannabinoid chemicals made naturally by the body.
