Unraveling the Truth: Does CBD Get You High?

CBD doesn't induce a ""high"" because it interacts with different receptors in the endocannabinoid system compared to THC.

Alright, imagine THC and CBD as two friends at a party. THC is like the life of the party, making everything feel fun and a bit wild. It does that by connecting with brain receptors, giving you that classic “high” experience. Now, CBD is a bit different. It's like that friend who chills in the corner, not into the crazy stuff but still awesome to have around. CBD hangs out with different receptors, not the ones in the brain that cause the high. CBD is more about relaxation and therapeutic vibes without the whole head-in-the-clouds feeling.

They're both cool friends, just with different moods. CBD interacts with CB2 receptors and other non-cannabinoid receptors, influencing various pathways without causing the euphoria typically associated with THC binding to CB1 receptors.

Essentially, the distinct receptor interactions of CBD contribute to its non-psychoactive nature.
