CBD or THC?

With the growing popularity of medical cannabis, researchers are increasingly pushing for research to better guide patients in terms of dosage, efficiency and safety of medicinal cannabis products.

Cannabis supplements CBD (cannabidiol) are rapidly gaining popularity due to the health benefits that occur in the healthcare industry, without the high rate associated with potted plants.

However, a recent study shows that THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the main active ingredient of cannabis may be more responsible for the therapeutic effects of the plant than those with high consumption.

Therapeutic Benefits

In the new study, researchers used an application data to help people monitor marijuana use and find out which cannabis products are best for their symptoms.

Attendants took marijuana for symptoms like depression, anxiety, insomnia, stress, fatigue and back pain.

The application requested information from users, such as marijuana type, THC and CBD levels.

The researchers looked at data from the people who tried cannabis to alleviate medical symptoms.

The study was published Feb. 25 in the journal Scientific Reports. It found that high THC levels are closely related to symptoms reporting and CBD levels were not associated with symptom relief.

These results suggest that THC may be more important than CBD in generating therapeutic benefits.

Decrease In Symptom Severity

On average, participants experienced a decrease in symptom severity.

THC levels were quite tied to reported symptom relief and side effects. Side affects were dry mouth , feeling foggy, feeling relaxed and peaceful. Overall, CBD levels were generally not associated with the indicated symptoms or side effects

This shows that CBD may not have been linked with symptom relief or maybe CBD has more hidden effects that, in the study wasn’t long enough to capture these.
