Cannabis consumers have long prized potency (a high THC content) as one of the main factors that makes a particular strain more desirable.

Though traditional demand for THC has caused an oversaturation of high-potency products, many consumers are starting to prefer less intense products

that are lower in THC and higher in the non-intoxicating compound called cannabidiol (CBD).

THC and CBD are both cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant, but they’re different in many ways that may influence your next dispensary purchase.
