THC Vs. CBD And Your Cannabis Dispensary

Posted on

Marijuana dispensaries are becoming more and more common as more and more states legalized cannabis. Dispensaries are a great place to find both THC and CBD products. If you would like to learn more, keep reading. 

What's THC?

THC is one of many chemicals found in cannabis. It is the most popular and well-known because of its psychoactive effects, which often create a euphoric "high." Other symptoms of THC use include:

  • Impaired coordination
  • Slowed reaction time
  • Impaired judgment
  • Memory impairment
  • Sleepiness
  • Distorted perception
  • Sleepiness

For this reason, it's not legal to drive while under the influence of THC, and you should also not work or make any major decisions. THC is federally illegal, but many states have legalized it for medicinal and/or recreational use.

What's CBD?

CBD is another common chemical found in cannabis. Unlike THC, it has no psychoactive effects, and it is federally legal. CBD may not get you "high," but it helps many people with many conditions, including:

  • Pain
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Epilepsy
  • Cancer treatment side effects
  • Multiple sclerosis

THC can also help with many conditions, but because of its psychoactive effects, it often leads people to feel anxious or paranoid. CBD provides the benefits without the side effects of THC.

Where Can You Find CBD?

Because CBD is federally legal, there are fewer limitations, restrictions, and laws. Plus, CBD is a hot commodity as more and more people want to try it. For this reason, you can find CBD products just about anywhere, including your pharmacy.

Plus, because CBD is commonly used for health benefits, it comes in more than just flower, vape, and pre-rolls. You can buy topical treatments like lotions or get something for your bath like salts or a bath bomb.

What Is a Cannabis Dispensary?

If you want to buy a THC product, you'll need to visit a cannabis dispensary. You'll only find these in states that have legalized THC cannabis products (medically and/or recreationally). They are the only places you can legally buy cannabis. They usually sell THC cannabis in many forms and a variety of accessories. Cannabis dispensaries also often sell CBD products.

If you are in a state where cannabis is only medically legal (or if you want the medical price), you'll need to bring your medical cannabis card. Everyone will need to bring a valid ID, and you may need to show it more than once.

THC and CBD can help many issues. Regardless of which strain you choose, a cannabis dispensary can help you find the perfect product. For more information, visit a cannabis dispensary near you.
