Medical benefits of THC vs CBD
Richard S. Tone 0

THC is chemically referred to as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinnol or ∆-9-tetrahydrocannabinnol while CBD is simply called cannabidiol. Both are natural compounds obtained from the cannabis genus plants. CBD is extracted from the hemp or cannabis. Legal hemp contains 0.3% THC or even less. 

THC edibles 

THC is the major psychoactive compound in cannabis that is responsible for the high sensation. It is vastly consumed through smoking although it can be available in other means such as; 

     •Chocolate 

     •Baked products e.g cookies and brownies 

     •Root beer 

     •Oils 

     •Tinctures 

     •Capsules etc 

CBD edibles 

The following are certain types of cannabidiol edibles. 

   •Tea 

   •Desserts 

    •Coffee 

    •Gummy bears 

    •Energy drinks 

    •Protein powder 

    •CBD infused meals 

    •Cocktails etc 

THC edibles have been designed to induce a sense of highness while CBD edibles need to be processed by the digestive tract and liver to achieve the same sensation. As such the highness experienced between the two compounds is enormously different. 

Medical benefits 

The two compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system but possess very different receptions. Their similarity in the chemical compound enables them to connect to neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals designed to relay messages. They also have responsibilities in pain, sleep, immune function as well as stress. Listed below is a list of medical benefits of both THC and CBD. 

THC 

•Reduces pain 

•Curbs insomnia 

•Lowers anxiety levels 

•Helps to deal with low appetite 

•Decreases glaucoma 

•Reduces nausea 

•Muscle Spaticity 

CBD 

•Curbs seizures 

•Controls inflammation 

•Eases migraines 

•Eases depression 

•Psychosis or mental disorders 

Side effects 

Although the two compounds are seen to be working together, they portray very different reactions in their consumption. Have a look at the following; 

THC 

•Co-ordination problems 

•Panic attacks 

•Dry mouth 

•Increased heart rate 

•Paranoia 

•Red eyes 

•Anxiety 

•Memory loss 

•Slow reaction rates 

CBD 

•Diarrhoea 

•Changed appetite patterns 

•Dizziness 

•Fatigue 

•Loss of weight 

Conclusion 

THC and CBD have been proven to be medically effective in aiding in quite a number of health conditions, research shows. However if consumed in the wrong method, the side effects increase chances of deteriorated health status.

Kind of Weed edibles

Most people when they look around and see plant which were not planted by anyone, they regard these as weeds. However, a lot of these plants are types of weed edibles with nutritional value and can also be used in treating some physical ailments. 

When you look around any backyard, you are likely to see various plants which you can instantly tell were not planted by anyone, simply by their haphazard growth and by their competition with other plants. For most people, these are the plants commonly referred to as weeds. However, a lot of these so-called nuisance plants are actually types of weed edibles which have a lot of nutritional and sometimes, medicinal value. Some weed edibles include the following plants: 

Dandelion (Taraxacum) 

This is a common weed found in most uncultivated land with deep soils. The flowers, leaves, and roots of this plant are all edible. To prepare, this plant, sparingly cook the plant the same way you would prepare spinach. The plant can also be consumed raw. The plant has nutritional and medicinal value. The plant tends to have a nutty taste. 

Chickweed (Stellara Media) 

Although known as a weed to most people, chickweed is pleasant looking and will usually not offend anyone, especially since it grows close to the ground and usually does not clamor for space. It actually has the taste of grass and like dandelion, preparation of the leaves, which is an edible part, is the same as for spinach. It can also be eaten raw in salads, and if one finds the grassy taste unpleasant, some salad dressing can be used. A word of caution though, chickweed can be mildly toxic and so shouldn’t be fed in large quantities to animals. Human beings usually eat modest quantities of salads and so is completely harmless. 

Cannabis (marijuana) 

Cannabis is also referred to as a weed. Those who use the plant for recreational and other purposes have discovered various ways of creating various types of weed edibles by mixing the active ingredient in cannabis, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), with various food items. Some people incorporate THC in their baking to make cakes, brownie, biscuits, and so forth. Cannabis can also be incorporated in chocolates. There is also weed tea, weed syrups, and jams. The list is almost endless as you can mix the active ingredient in THC, in almost any food item.  Obviously since growing and possession of cannabis is illegal in a lot of countries, this is not a weed that is left to grow in people’s backyards. 

Conclusion 

Dandelion, Chickweed, and cannabis are just but a few types of edible weeds. Just being aware that a lot of the weeds out there are actually edible should make you curious when you see an unknown plant growing in your backyard. The key thing is that you need to wash the weeds just as you would your everyday vegetables. Some light cooking will usually make the weed more palatable.
