CBD and THC Ratio

Many consumers love to smoke, vape, or eat marijuana because of its THC compound, which takes users to cloud nine after about 30 minutes of consumption. However, some people hate getting high, and even the lowest dose of THC-rich products could alter their thinking.

Those in the latter category are usually advised to use CBD products instead of THC, but they can still enjoy the therapeutic benefits of THC without the risk of losing self-control or productivity at work.

How? By simply using a Full Spectrum CBD product instead of consuming CBD in isolation. “What does that mean?” you may ask. It’s a CBD product that contains many cannabinoids (natural chemicals in marijuana plants) in different proportions. We’ll get to this later, but first, it is vital to know what CBD and THC are and why one gets you high and the other doesn’t.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second-most popular natural compound found in cannabis plants. Although it has been around for many years, it only started gaining popularity among cannabis users.

CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical in cannabis strains that helps induce relaxation and calmness when consumed. CBD also has counteractive properties that help neutralize the effects of THC. This means that you can use CBD to suppress the psychoactive effects caused by THC.

You can use CBD in the same way you can use regular cannabis. If you want to smoke it, you can smoke the dry herb as is with a hand pipe or in a joint. People can also turn it into wax, edibles, oils and much more.

CBD offers lots of benefits and can be used to treat the following medical conditions:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Insomnia
  • Chronic pain
  • Muscle spasms
  • Epilepsy
  • Migraines
  • Cancer

What is THC?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. It is the psychoactive chemical in marijuana that induces the euphoric and mind-altering high you feel after smoking, vaporizing or eating pot.

Although both CBD and THC have the same molecular structure of 30 hydrogen atoms, 21 carbon atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms, the slight difference in the arrangement of these atoms is what creates the different effects on your body after consumption.

Most people use cannabis with THC because of its popularity. If you have heard of marijuana or cannabis, it’s the THC components of the plant they’re talking about. You can use it by vaporizing it, smoking it, dabbing wax with a vape pen or even using it in edibles.

THC can be used to treat conditions such as:

  • Pain
  • Low appetite
  • muscle spasticity
  • glaucoma
  • insomnia
  • Nausea

What’s the Benefit of Full Spectrum CBD?

As mentioned earlier, a Full Spectrum CBD sometimes called “whole plant CBD” contains all the at least 113 known natural chemicals found in cannabis strains. Recent studies show that a Full Spectrum CBD is more effective compared to products that contain only CBD.

While CBD-isolated products offer many medical benefits, Full Spectrum CBD offer a broader range of benefits, some of which include

  • It helps to reduce inflammation
  • It can be used to combat the growth of cancerous cells
  • It helps to improve sleeping conditions
  • It is a great pain reliever.
  • It is used for seizures
  • It is a remedy for fungal infections
  • It helps to reduce muscle spasms, etc.

Ratios

The ratio (CBD: THC ratio) is any metric used to tell the amount of CBD and THC present in cannabis products. Different ratios uniquely affect how your body will react to cannabis when consumed. Here’s are some of the most popular CBD:THC ratio.

0:1

This is also known as a THC dominant ratio. Here, you should expect a more potent psychoactive effect of cannabis in your body compared to other ratios. Apart from the mind-altering and euphoric effects, you will also experience dizziness.

1:0

This is also known as the CBD dominant ratio. It is sometimes represented as 25:1. This is any product or mixture that has more CBD with little or no THC content. The benefits attached to taking this ratio are relief from depression and anxiety and reduction in epileptic seizures.

1:2

This ratio still offers you a high THC experience. The good thing about this ratio is that the CBD strain present will help create a relaxation instead of the normal anxiety or paranoia you would feel after taking THC. It reduces the risk of developing tachycardia, anxiety, and other mood depressing conditions.

1:1

This is a balanced ratio that delivers mild psychoactive effects. Part of the numerous benefits of taking this ratio is that you get relief from muscular pain, it improves your sleep, helps to restrain cancerous growth, and create better immunity against disorders.
