RE: A Review of Pre-Packaged Tincture Sprays, Edibles and Tea (Part One: The Give Back Brand, Mint Tea By Pixie)
Very nice review, note that CBD antagonizes the CYP2C9 enzyme and stops it from metabolizing THC into 11-hydroxy THC, which is of interest for controlling psycho-activity for orally administered goodies)
Thank you for commenting @phenry! I really appreciate it.
This is great information to remember for anyone who may become uncomfortable if they find themselves in a situation where they have consumed more THC in an edible then they really wanted to.
CBD deactivates the psycho-activity of THC.
Its also important to note that CBD deactivates the enzyme that breaks down THC into 11-OH-THC and 11-OH-THC into inactive metabolites. Thus CBD makes the high last longer. CBD also does that by inhibiting the THC transporters that remove THC from the brain and into the blood stream
I find this information related to THC and CBD fascinating. I appreciate being able to understand "why" something presents or works they way it does.
Thank you for sharing this. It is a subject that isn't talked about in very much detail. We all learn that CBD will take down the psychoactivity of THC but no one really talks very much about the specifics.
