THC + CBD = A better high
Modern cannabis can be a double-edged sword. While it offers unparalleled highs, it can also bring about less desirable side effects like anxiety and drowsiness. But what if we told you that the key to a better high lies in the balance of THC and CBD? When it's good, it's great—and we have figured out the difference.
THC potency has spiked 500% in the last 40 years
As we have reported earlier in the post "Make Cannabis Safe Again", prohibition led to a significant increase in THC potency in the plant, with similar spikes in many edibles, vapes, and other form factors. This increase in THC potency translates to a much stronger and potentially overwhelming experience for users today.
But it's not just the THC potency that causes these side effects—the lack of CBD is an even bigger issue.
THC and CBD are the two most dominant cannabinoids among the hundreds you can find in the cannabis plant. THC is known for its psychoactive properties, while CBD mainly carries the plant's major medicinal benefits.
Less known is how these two cannabinoids work together. The average levels of THC have more than tripled over the last 20-ish years, while the levels of CBD have dropped to near zero.
When using cannabis products with high levels of THC and low to no levels of CBD, many experience side effects like anxiety or drowsiness.
In Woodstock it was more equal
The weed smoked during The Summer of Love in 1969 was natural, with an equal ratio of THC and CBD (around 5-7% of each in the buds). Back then, cannabis provided a balanced, mellow experience thanks to this natural 1:1 ratio. Fast forward to today, and the weed you find at a dispensary is most likely between 30%-50% in THC potency, with no CBD at all. This shift has dramatically changed the cannabis experience, often leading to a less balanced and more intense high.
Bring it back but better
Bringing back a balance between THC and CBD allows the CBD to block these common side effects. In addition, THC also boosts the medicinal and relaxing properties of CBD. This synergistic relationship creates a more pleasurable experience with fewer side effects, enhancing the overall therapeutic benefits.
