CBD and THC are key cannabinoids in cannabis with distinct effects. THC, the psychoactive component, can induce euphoria but may also cause anxiety and cognitive decline, particularly in older adults. Conversely, CBD is non-psychoactive with potential therapeutic benefits like anti-inflammation and analgesia, appealing to older populations for conditions like arthritis. While THC has applications in appetite stimulation and muscle spasticity reduction, caution is advised for older users. CBD shows promise in alleviating anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain, with possible neuroprotective properties, though further research is necessary to validate its efficacy.
CBD interacts with various receptors in the body, such as TRPV1 and 5-HT1A, which are involved in pain perception and mood regulation, respectively.
THC is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, responsible for the high associated with marijuana use. It binds to CB1 receptors in the brain.
