- Effects of CBD vs THC
There were a few episodes that alluded to the effects of Cannabis on the heart. As I understand, CBD doesn’t affect the heart the same way THC does, and when people refer to this effect, there is no distinction between the two. It would be great to hear an episode about the differences and the benefits/side effects of one vs the other and the differentiation.
