Tetrahydrocannabinol<br />
(THC)<br />
THC is the chemical that is responsible for the psychological effects.<br />
It acts like a natural cannabinoid present in our body. It attaches to<br />
the receptors thus affecting person's memory, pleasure,<br />
movements, thinking, conversation, coordination and sensory and<br />
time perception. It helps in reducing pain and induces sleep.<br />
Cannabidiol (CBD)<br />
It is the primary ingredient of <strong>marijuana</strong> that has significant <strong>medical</strong><br />
benefits. Unlike THC it is non-psychoactive and also known to<br />
neutralize the effect of THC in the body. Thus it is useful in relieving<br />
inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasm and other<br />
<strong>medical</strong> conditions. CBD also inhibits the growth of cancer cell in the<br />
body and thus prevent tumor formation.
