We get a lot of questions, but this is one of the most popular. ⠀
-⠀
Can you get high off CBD? The short answer is no, but here’s why.⠀
-⠀
Cannabis is an umbrella term with plant genetics under it like marijuana and hemp. What makes these two different are several things, but more so the amount of THC they have.⠀
-⠀
Hemp is considered a cannabis varietal that contains no more than .3% THC. So, while hemp does have THC, it is not nearly enough to get you high. It is, however, enough to be tested for, so it’s important to know whether you should look to other types of CBD without THC like Broad Spectrum or Isolate.⠀
-⠀
What will get you high is hemp’s relative, marijuana. Marijuana is considered the cannabis varietal that contains more than .3% THC.⠀
-⠀
The difference in the molecular structure of these two is very small as they look almost identical, but if you look closely, CBD has a hydroxyl group while THC has a cyclic ring in the lower left area of their formulas.⠀
-⠀
It’s that difference that makes CBD a non-psychoactive compound.⠀
