CBN and CBD are not psychoactive themselves, however CBD can take the edge off a THC high, tending to relax the user rather than increasing anxiety and paranoia..
Someone please clarify this for me. I have read statements like the one above many times. Some have described cbd as the polar opposite to thc and it can be useed to help bring you down. But then I read about the entorage effect. That says that thc alone does not produce the desirable effects. (I myself have experienced this years ago when I took 8 yellow Marinols and was cheated of my high.).
So does cbd both increase and decrease Thc? Does anyone know of any links to some studies with straight-up science that can help me research this.
They're are two types of receptors in the brain cb-1 and cb-2 THC has no preference and will attach to either. CBD however will only attach to the cb-2 receptors but it is a cb-1 antagonist which basically means it blocks the receptor soTHC can't attach to it.
If you have a lot ofCBD in your system and then smoke some THC the CBD will block it. The body will then convert it from delta9thc to delta13thc and when the CBD wears off it will hit you ip to 5 times as intense as what the original dose of THC would have. I had this happen to me personally when I accidentally consumed some pure THC that I wad told was pure CBD, it was in no way pleasurable.
