CBD (cannabidiol) is a cannabinoid that does not produce intoxication. It is used for calm, discomfort and general wellbeing without the high associated with THC, and it is available as oils, capsules, edibles, topicals and CBD-dominant flower. Same-day delivery across Toronto and the GTA.<\/strong><\/p>\n Both are cannabinoids from the same plant, but they behave very differently. THC binds strongly to CB1 receptors in the brain and produces intoxication. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system through different and less direct mechanisms, and does not produce a high at any normal dose.<\/p>\n Some people find CBD takes the edge off THC \u2014 it is often suggested for moderating an uncomfortably strong THC experience, though evidence on this is mixed rather than conclusive.<\/p>\n CBD is widely used and generally well tolerated, but claims made about it often outrun the research. The strongest evidence supports its use in specific seizure disorders, where it has regulatory approval. For anxiety, sleep, inflammation and pain, evidence is preliminary and mixed. CBD can also interact with some medications, including blood thinners.<\/p>\n We are not medical professionals and this is not medical advice.
