Why consume cannabis without THC?

What does cannabis without THC mean?

Among the more than 100 different chemical compounds present in the plant, the molecules of cannabidiol and THC are the best known. But what does 'THC-free' really mean?

The term 'THC-free' technically means that there is not a 'quantifiable' or 'detectable' level of THC in the product - it does not mean not that there is 0% THC. This is true for any broad-spectrum cannabidiol product on the market, since cannabidiol is derived from plants along with many other plant constituents, including other cannabinoids like THC.

Chemistry and the quality of lab equipment can help give a more precise meaning to the term "THC-free" while justifying why it is a fair term to use for certain products.

When looking at other cannabidiol products that advertise "THC-free", it's very important to dig into the Certificate of Analysis and make sure it sets the actual limit for THC.

If a Certificate of Analysis says "N/D", which means "Not Detected", instead of an actual number (e.g. 0.02% level), it should state the actual minimum threshold that it considered undetectable. If the limit of quantification is not disclosed, you don't really know at what level the THC is being tested.

Weed with THC VS weed without THC

The products derived from weed without THC and weed with THC have some differences. Cannabidiol is a non-intoxicating plant molecule. It is the second most common active ingredient after THC.

However, unlike THC, cannabidiol does not produce psychoactive effects. It does not alter the mind, emotions or behavior of the user. This means you won't get high from cannabidiol like you would from THC.

Cannabidiol and THC both affect the human brain, but in different ways. When you take the substance, it goes to the part of the brain known as cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptors. It will then bind to CB2.

However, the action does not release dopamine as it normally would if it were THC. This is why taking cannabidiol does not trigger a high or euphoria in users.

Cannabidiol can also bind to cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors, but it will not not as potent as THC and CB1. For this, cannabidiol must be combined with THC so that it can bind correctly to CB1 receptors. This can help minimize the psychoactive effects of THC such as sedation or euphoria.

Another fairly well-known form of the weed is CBD resin. It has anxiolytic and healing properties. The resin attenuates the psychoactive effects of THC by providing relaxation. People with health problems such as anxiety, pain or nausea will greatly benefit from it.

THC-free cannabis for childhood epilepsy

Cannabidiol may also hold the key to treating people with epilepsy. Research is ongoing to determine to what extent the cannabinoid may help reduce the number of seizures in epileptic patients. They are also trying to determine how safe it is to use.

In a 2016 study, researchers gave oral doses of 2–5 mg of cannabidiol daily to 214 people with epilepsy. They added the cannabinoid to the patients' already existing anti-epileptic drugs.

The researchers then followed the participants for 12 weeks, taking note of any negative side effects from the cannabidiol doses. They also noted the frequency of seizures among participants.

At the end of the program, participants had experienced 36.5% fewer seizures per month. However, 12% of patients suffered from serious adverse effects.
