Lots of talk about cannabis lately since it was recently rescheduled from Schedule 1 with drugs like heroin to Schedule 3 with drugs like ketamine and testosterone 💉 This often leads to the question, what exactly is THC? THC = the compound in cannabis that gets you “high” 🧠🌿 It stands for tetrahydrocannabinol — and it works by binding to receptors in your brain (your endocannabinoid system), altering mood, perception, memory, and pain 🧬 🙋‍♂️ What does THC do? 👉 In low doses: relaxation, pain relief 👉 In higher doses: anxiety, impaired coordination, short-term memory issues Important distinction: THC ≠ CBD CBD is non-psychoactive… THC is what changes how you feel Like anything in medicine — dose matters ⚖️ 🚨 You can remove the THC from your CBD product, which is what I chose to do. #thc #cannabis #pain #endocannabinoidsystem health
