CBD and THC are the main cannabinoids found in the cannabis plants. 

While there are other cannabinoids like CBN, CBG, and CBC, CBD and THC are by far the most abundant and popular at this moment in time.

CBD and THC have overlapping and similar effects. They also work synergistically together. 

This is what’s called the entourage effect. Perhaps the most notable quality of the synergistic relationship of THC and CBD is that CBD seems to counteract the intoxicating properties of THC. 

This is one of the reasons people like to use both cannabinoids together in equal proportions.

No matter how you plan to use CBD and THC, it’s important you know their effects.
