THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary intoxicating cannabinoid in cannabis. CBD (cannabidiol) is the most-studied non-intoxicating cannabinoid in cannabis. Both are found in cannabis flower at the Cannabis Cured Fairfield cultivation campus, with formats including flower, edibles, tinctures, and concentrates.
The basic chemistry
THC binds primarily to the CB1 receptor and produces the intoxicating felt-effect commonly associated with cannabis. CBD does not bind to CB1 in the same way and is non-intoxicating. Both are produced naturally in the cannabis plant from the precursor compound CBGA.
How they show up on a Cannabis Cured label
Every Cannabis Cured product label lists total THC and total CBD in milligrams per serving (edibles, drinks, tinctures) or as a percentage of total weight (flower, pre-rolls, concentrates). Look for the milligram numbers, they're the dose.
Combined products
Some Cannabis Cured products carry both THC and CBD at varying ratios, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, etc. Different ratios are used by customers seeking different felt-effect profiles. Cannabis has not been analyzed or approved by the FDA for therapeutic use; consult a registered Maine medical provider before using cannabis as part of any treatment plan.
Frequently asked
Is CBD legal in Maine?
Hemp-derived CBD is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Cannabis-derived CBD is regulated under Maine's adult-use and medical cannabis programs. Cannabis Cured CBD products are cannabis-derived and sold under Maine OCP rules.
Will CBD show up on a drug test?
Standard drug tests typically screen for THC metabolites, not CBD. However, many CBD products contain trace THC. If you have employment drug-testing concerns, consult your employer's policy.
Can THC and CBD be used together?
Cannabis Cured sells products that combine both cannabinoids at fixed ratios. Effects vary by individual.
