MINT HILL, NC – You may have asked yourself, ” will CBD get me high”?  The short answer to that is no.

While it is true that both CBD and THC are phytocannabinoids, their effects on humans are totally different. THC is the intoxicating component that gets you ‘high’ when you smoke marijuana and interacts differently with our endocannabinoid system

Facts about CBD confirm its non-intoxicating qualities and various health benefits that THC alone does not have. It all comes down to how they affect our system. For example, CBD does not directly activate certain receptors as THC does, but it prolongs the effects other cannabinoids have on them.

While the last-mentioned CBD facts are true – CBD is one of the main components of cannabis and it can be derived from either hemp or marijuana – there are certain differences in hemp-derived CBD oil and marijuana-derived CBD oil that greatly influence a lot of things.

All the CBD industry is based on hemp-derived CBD products because they all have less than 0,3% THC in them (THC is the chemical compound that makes you feel intoxicated). Probably no need to mention that THC is not legal everywhere..?

Marijuana-derived oil is more likely to be called ‘THC oil” than ‘CBD oil’ because it has a higher concentration of THC in it and therefore will most likely get you ‘high’. While it usually has some levels of CBD, it still does not compare to hemp-derived CBD products.
