What are the two main substances in cannabis that influence its effects?

  1. CBC and CBA

  2. THC and CBD

  3. THC and CBN

  4. CBD and CBG

The correct answer is: THC and CBD

The correct response highlights THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) as the primary compounds in cannabis that significantly impact its effects on the body and mind. THC is known for its psychoactive properties, producing the "high" associated with cannabis use. It can induce euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception. In contrast, CBD is non-psychoactive and is often linked to various therapeutic benefits such as anxiety reduction, anti-inflammatory effects, and seizure control. Together, THC and CBD create a unique interaction that can modulate the overall experience, influencing everything from pain relief to mood enhancement. Their distinct characteristics have made them focal points in both recreational and medicinal cannabis discussions.
