THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are different cannabinoids found in cannabis. A label’s amount is product information, not a guarantee of effect, safety or medical benefit. Individual responses vary, and this page makes no treatment claims.
What the terms describe
THC is associated with intoxicating effects. CBD is not intoxicating in the same way, but that does not mean a CBD product is risk-free or appropriate for everyone. The names alone do not tell a reader everything about a product, its quality, or its effect on a particular person.
Why the label is not a prediction
Product format, amount, personal circumstances and other factors can affect experience. A single number cannot resolve those differences. Health Canada’s consumer information and risk guidance provide the primary context; ask a qualified health professional about health questions.
Keep information and recommendations separate
This site explains terminology and points to official sources. It does not recommend a THC or CBD level, compare products, or offer medical advice. Read how to read package information alongside the official guidance.
