CBD vs. THC: Which One Is Right For You?(1) Article Preview (1) CBD and THC have same source, they are the two main chemical components of the cannabis plant. (2) THC and CBD are just two compounds from a family of around 113 bi- and tri-cyclic compounds found naturally in cannabis. Both CBD and THC share the exact same molecular formula.They have similar chemical properties and physiological effects. (3) THC is responsible for the drug's psychoactive effect, and it's what makes you feel high. CBD does not have a psychoactive effect, though it has more proven health uses, like pain relief. (4) THC and CBD have different legal status in the world. For CBD,it has been accepted by most of countries, along with many health benefits,it appears in many fields, such as food, beauty, medicine.For THC, it still be controlled and it only legal at medicine field, the content should not exceed 0.3% at other fields.
What Are CBD and THC? CBD(cannabidiol) Description
THC( tetrahydrocannabinol)
CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol. CBD is present in all cannabis plants but more plentiful in hemp, rather than marijuana. Hemp has been legal federally since 2018, as is CBD as long as it's found in a product that contains less than 0.3% THC.
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is a psychoactive component of marijuana, although the THC molecule is surprisingly similar to its non-psychoactive counterpart CBD. THC is what gets you high, and for that reason is somewhat less accepted for medicinal use than CBD.

CBD vs. THC: structures & chemical properties
THC and CBD are just two compounds from a family of around 113 bi- and tri-cyclic compounds found naturally in cannabis. Both CBD and THC share the exact same molecular formula, C21H30O2, containing twenty-one atoms of carbon, thirty of hydrogen and two of oxygen. Their molecular mass is practically identical with THC and CBD having masses of 314.469 g/mol 314.464 g/mol, respectively. As with many of the cannabinoids, THC and CBD have low solubility in water, but good solubility in most organic solvents, particularly lipids and alcohols. Both THC and CBD are present in cannabis in a mixture of acidic forms, which are readily de-carboxylated and chemically altered upon heating, important when you consider that smoking cannabis is the most common form of consumption. THC is also well known for its ability to bind to glass and plastic. Therefore, THC preparations are typically stored in basic or organic solvents in amber silicate glassware to avoid loss, especially during analytical testing procedures.
