Cannabis extracts refers to a broad range of products that generally contain higher levels of cannabinoids than are found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in cannabis that can affect your mind and body when consumed. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the best known cannabinoid and the one that makes an individual euphoric and intoxicated (or high). CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that might have some therapeutic benefit, although more research is needed to confirm its potential medical use. Cannabis extracts can vary widely in their THC and CBD concentrations. Some extracts can have up to 99% THC, whereas others can be mostly CBD with little THC.
