Marijuana which is considered illegal for recreational purposes is slowly becoming legal for medical purposes! This is strange but this is happening, and the main reason is that this substance has surprising benefits for human body. However, it does not mean that you can consume it as it is extracted. You can only consume the medical marijuana for treatments as prescribed by your doctor and legal products have a set percentage of different compounds. The most famous compounds in marijuana or the hemp plant are cannabidiol and THC. These two compounds differ a lot in their chemical composition and there is a need to understand the composition of these two different substances before you start consuming any. 

 

Why THC is considered bad?

THC is the main substance because of which marijuana is illegal in different states. This is a psychoactive compound and it will take your senses for few hours. This is extremely addictive and there are risks of many issues if you take this regularly. On the other hand, CBD is considered to be a safe drug and the main reason why this drug has been legalized and is now available at Massachusetts Dispensaries and Marijuana Stores is that it is not psychoactive and will not make you out of your senses! This is a great plus and when CBD is mixed with THC (in lower proportions), it gives a wonderful combination.
