What’s the difference between CBD and medical marijuana?

 The difference between CBD and medical marijuana lies primarily in their composition, effects, and legal classification, and at Greenlight Wellness Export, we help patients understand these distinctions to make informed health decisions.

CBD, is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant, meaning it does not produce the “high” commonly associated with marijuana. It is typically derived from hemp, a variety of cannabis with low THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content, and is used to manage conditions like anxiety, inflammation, epilepsy, and chronic pain without altering mental clarity.

Medical marijuana, on the other hand, refers to the use of the whole cannabis plant or its extracts — including THC and CBD for therapeutic purposes.

THC is the psychoactive component that can alter perception and mood, and in medical marijuana, the THC content is higher to treat conditions such as severe pain, nausea from chemotherapy, muscle spasms, and loss of appetite in chronic illness.
