Some people may think that since THC and CBD are chemical cousins they may have similar effects. Nothing is further from the truth. THC is famous for being psychoactive, while CBD is not. Some of the psychoactivity of THC is perceived as negative effects. These include anxiety and paranoia. CBD does not cause anxiety or paranoia. In fact, it is used as an anti-anxiety remedy by multitudes of people. This is one of the reasons folks buy CBD.

Often, CBD is mixed with THC to help mitigate the unwanted anxiety caused by THC. These cannabinoid mixtures can be ingested or vaped, or in the case of some cannabis cultivars that contain both CBD and THC, the flower can be smoked. The CBD “mellows out” some of the effects of the high strength marijuana available today.
