CBD vs THC - Everything you need to know!
You have heard of CBD and THC but are not sure exactly what sets them apart?
Both compounds come from the same plant, but they are very different.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound of the cannabis plant. It is not psychoactive: it does not cause the "high" associated with cannabis.
What is THC?
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It is what causes the euphoric effect.
The key differences
- Effect: CBD is not psychoactive; THC is.
- Legality in Switzerland: products containing less than 1% THC are legal; above that, cannabis falls under the Narcotics Act.
- Use: CBD is found in legal everyday products (flowers, oils); THC is strictly regulated.
What they have in common
Both are cannabinoids from the same plant, which contains more than a hundred of them.
