6 The cannabis plant contains up to 545 chemical compounds including 114 different cannabinoids which may interact with the body’s cannabinoid receptors. 12 The best studied and most abundant cannabinoids are Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is a cannabinoid that can have psychoactive effects. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, is non-addictive and less potent than THC with very low toxicity. THC and CBD may work synergistically, while CBD also antagonises the adverse side effects associated with THC. Cannabis formulations have different ratios of THC to CBD. Each formulation: • Provides different therapeutic effects. • Interacts differently with each person’s endocannabinoid system and biochemistry. • Can have a different side effect profile in patients.
