How Medical Cannabis Works

What is Cannabis?

Cannabis is a plant which can produce a diverse range of chemical compounds called ‘phytocannabinoids’.

When consumed, these compounds trigger various effects on the mind and body by activating our body’s natural “endo-cannabinoid receptors”.

How Cannabis Works in the Body

The major and most commonly known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant are THC and CBD.
  • THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

    THC is the primary psychoactive component, contributing to various therapeutic effects, such as pain relief, anticonvulsive, antispasmodic, antidepressant, sedative, and neuroprotective.

    It’s valued for its pain relief, antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and appetite-stimulating attributes.

    THC enhances sensory functions, such as sight and hearing, while promoting a greater sense of well-being.

  • CBD (Cannabidiol)

    CBD is non-psychoactive, which means it does not induce a “high” and counteracts the psychoactive effects of THC.

    CBD offers an array of therapeutic benefits, including its effectiveness against anxiety, stress, and muscle spasms. Notably, it is a powerful anti-seizure treatment and demonstrates sedative properties.
