They’re not. Same plant family, completely different experience. Before we break down exactly how, take a look through our [full UK vape range](/thc-vapes/)so you’ve got real products to match against what you’re about to read. ## What THC Products Are Designed to Do THC binds to the endocannabinoid system in the body causing a person to become intoxicated. When THC is combined with CBD and lesser known cannabinoids in a single product then the entourage effect occurs, where all of these compounds interact and create a fuller and more enjoyable experience for the user. The entourage effect can add another layer of depth to the sensory experience of the user depending on whether or not a full-spectrum extract was used in the creation of the product. **Effects reported by users:** - Altered state of mind/perception, may vary depending upon dosage of the product. - Ahead of [weed edibles](/edibles/), typically felt in minutes rather than hours. - More multi-dimensional sensory experience when using full-spectrum extracts due to interaction between cannabinoids and terpenes. ## What CBD Products Are Designed to Do CBD is non-psychoactive meaning that it will not induce a “high,” nor alter perceptions nor impair judgment. Users typically choose CBD because they are seeking a sense of calmness, clarity or general well-being rather than any type of psychoactive sensation. - There is no intoxication experienced regardless of concentration/dosage/frequency. - CBD achieves quick onset similar to THC, but lacks head change. - Available as isolate, broad-spectrum & full-spectrum – each offering varying degrees of additional cannabinoids/terpenes. ## CBD vs. THC Side-by-Side Comparison | | **THC Vapes** | **CBD Vapes** | | --- | --- | --- | | Psychoactive | YES — produces a high | NO intoxication | | Onset | Fast — typically within minutes | Fast — typically within minutes | | Entourage Effect | Strong — especially full-spectrum | Present in full-spectrum, absent in isolate | | Most Common Use Case | Recreation/effect/relaxation/mood lift | Calm/focus/general wellbeing | | Product Formats | Full-spectrum oils/live resin carts | Isolate/broad-spectrum/full-spectrum | | Most Typical Buyer Intent | Seeks psychoactive experience | Seek benefits without the high | ## The Relationship Between Them Matters When researchers studied a group of people using vapourized cannabis they observed that the effects of just THC caused significant increases in anxiety, however when an equivalent dose of CBD was added to THC, these anxiety spikes were reduced. The research indicates that CBD works by increasing our body’s production of Anandamide in the brain and also activates Serotonin receptors in the brain which is linked to feelings of relaxation and has been shown to work as a counter balance to THC’s ability to produce feelings of stress and paranoia. ## Choosing the Right Vape for Your Needs - If you seek the traditional cannabis experience — head change/mood lift/entourage effect — a THC vape will provide that experience. - If you wish to find something calming or grounding without being under the influence of anything — a CBD vape will provide the wellness aspect of cannabis. - If you are still undecided, full-spectrum products in either category tend to provide the widest and most-rounded experience, as virtually everything has been left intact. - Neither is better than the other — they are created for specific goals — many people keep both on hand based on their needs for the day. ## Browse Our Entire Selection If you are looking for the classic THC experience, our entire UK vape selection has options at every level of flavor and potency.
