Many of us hemp enthusiasts also enjoy some dry herb, whether it be
occasionally or as part of a routine. Of
course, these two types of members of the same genus share a lot in common, and
so naturally, many people wonder if it’s okay to combine the two. Considering the fact that they can both
provide unique effects; it makes sense that people are cautious about using
both together.
Differences Between Dry Herb and CBD
Before we discuss what happens when you combine the
two, let’s first talk about how they differ from each other, so that you can
understand exactly what’s happening in your body when both are in your
system. As you know, both dry herb and CBD are derived from the
cannabis genus, but they are two different plants with two unique chemical
compositions. However, they share many
of the same compounds in common.
The main difference, as you probably know, is the THC
content. Hemp products have a low amount
of THC – no more than 0.3 percent that naturally occurs – meaning that
hemp-based CBD goods cannot get you high.
Dry herb can have upwards from 15 percent THC, which is why it will get
you high.
Meanwhile, hemp products have a much higher amount of
CBD than dry herb does, and CBD is known as a calming compound. CBD and THC are cannabinoids, which are a
class of compounds that support the body’s endocannabinoid system, which uses
various cannabinoids to produce regulatory effects throughout the body. Each of the two plants has its own
organization of these cannabinoids, which is why they can affect you in
different ways.
Then there are terpenes and flavonoids, two other
classes of compounds which can exist in different compositions depending on the
strains from which both the CBD and the dry herb are derived.
Is it Okay to Take Both in the Same Day?
So, can you take CBD on the same day that you smoked
or vaped some dry herb? In short,
yes. There is no known negative
interaction between the two, and we can’t think of a reason why there would be
in the first place. Both of these
substances are nontoxic to the body, and so a toxic reaction will not occur by
combining them together. At the end of
the day, you’re just taking two different versions of the same plant genus.
Many people take dry herb and CBD for the same reasons
– maybe because they’re trying to unwind, or they’re just looking for some
general wellness. Therefore, a lot of
people take both of these products within a day’s period without any issues.
Can Both Be Taken at the Same Time?
Now, what about using both together? Well, again, this is something that lots of
people do.Because there is no
known negative interaction, there’s really no reason why you can’t have the two
at the same time.
In fact, many people prefer combining these two
products together. Why? Because some unique effects can occur by taking
in the specific blend of chemical compounds of each plant at once. For instance, the presence of a high CBD
level may be able to counteract some of the effects of THC that can be more
unpleasant for some, as THC can make some people feel uneasy in high
doses. In other words, some people use
CBD to “take the edge off” the THC in their dry herb.
Just be mindful that how you feel when combining both
largely comes down to the strain of each, as well as how much of each product
you consume.
Overall, There’s No Known Harm that Comes with Combining CBD and Dry Herb
Whether they are taken together at the same time or
taken at different points during the day.
Of course, everyone’s body reacts differently to cannabinoids, but there
are no known instances of serious side effects associated with taking the two
together. In fact, many dry herb users
find that adding CBD to their routine improves their overall experience.
