Module Description

This module explores THC and CBD, cannabis plant compounds with distinct effects. Dr. Teh explains their structures, how they enter and leave the body, and their medicinal benefits (pain relief, mental health). THC is psychoactive but offers therapeutic effects, while CBD is non-psychoactive and may reduce anxiety and psychosis. The course also dives into how they interact with the body's endocannabinoid system and the potential of other cannabis compounds.
