THC is associated with the mind-altering effects it produces (aka “high”) when the compound is broken down by heat and introduced into the body – for example when someone smokes parts of the plant or adds those to food that is cooked.

CBD has none of the mind altering affects associated with recreational use of marijuana – it is not psychoactive. This means that it does not change the state of mind of the person who uses it. However, it has been observed that CBD produces significant changes in the body that have been found to have numerous benefits.

Det meste af den CBD, som The CBD Flower Shop Europe leverer, er udvundet af hamp – den mindst forarbejdede form af cannabisplanten.

Både hamp og marihuana tilhører den samme plantefamilie, cannabis sativa, men de er meget forskellige i deres egenskaber:

Marihuana landmænd

Marihuanabønder opdrætter cannabisstammer, der indeholder høje niveauer af THC og andre forbindelser, der påvirker lugt, smag eller udseende.

 

CBD landmænd

CBD-bønder opdrætter stammer af cannabis, der indeholder høje niveauer af CBD og lave niveauer af THC.

 

Hampebønder

Hampbønder har historisk set ikke forsøgt at ændre planten.
