CBD Vs THC

Cannariver14 Dec, 2023Health

Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the early 20th century that scientists began to study its active compounds. In 1940, a chemist named Roger Adams isolated the first cannabinoid from the cannabis plant, which he named cannabidiol, or CBD. A few years later, in 1964, Israeli chemist Raphael Mechoulam discovered delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the compound responsible for the plant's psychoactive effects.
