Unlike hemp, cannabis plants tend to have a higher THC content, and consuming THC is known to induce high effects. While both CBD and THC are present naturally in cannabis plants, CBD levels are ...
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is derived directly from the hemp plant, which a report from Harvard University calls, "a cousin of marijuana." The compound does not cause a "high" effect, unlike THC ...
[4] [20] CBD does not have the same psychoactivity as THC, [25] [26] and can modulate the psychoactive effects of THC on the body if both are present. [17] [25] [27] [28] Conversion of CBD to THC can occur when CBD is heated to temperatures between 250–300 °C, potentially leading to its partial transformation into THC. [29]
The researchers noted that there is “tentative support” for using CBD to treat social anxiety; there are also case studies that suggest cannabis may help with sleep and post-traumatic stress ...
CBD heated to 175, [13] or 250–300 °C may partially be converted into THC. [14] Even at room temperature, trace amounts of THC can be formed as a contaminant in CBD stored for long periods in the presence of moisture and carbon dioxide in the air, with storage under inert gas required to maintain analytically pure CBD.
CBD may show antipsychotic and neuroprotective properties, acting as an antagonist to some of the effects of THC. Studies examining this effect have used high ratios of CBD to THC, and it is unclear to what extent these laboratory studies translate to the types of cannabis used by real life users.

7-Hydroxycannabidiol (7-OH-CBD) is an active metabolite of cannabidiol, generated in the body from cannabidiol by the action of the enzyme CYP2C19. [1] While methods have been developed for its synthetic production, [2] and measurement of levels in the body following consumption of cannabidiol, [3] its pharmacology has been relatively little studied, though it has been found to possess similar ...
