CBD and THC are two compounds found in cannabis, but they have distinct effects and uses. CBD is non-psychoactive and is commonly used for its potential therapeutic benefits, while THC is psychoactive and used recreationally. In Australia, CBD from hemp is generally legal, while THC is highly regulated and mostly illegal for recreational use. Medical use of THC is allowed in specific cases under strict regulations.
This understanding is crucial for informed discussions about cannabis and its various components, especially in the Australian context, where there are evolving regulations and growing interest in both CBD and THC products.
