Is it just an excuse to get high or does Medical marijuana actually do something beneficial that CBD on its own doesn’t do? It’s never been my cup of tea but I’m not judging. I’m just curious as to if there’s much more benefit than just CBD on it’s own.
THC affects certain conditions, CBD affects certain conditions, it's more dependent on what type of problems the individual has. That being said, THC is unquestionably the "fun" compound of the two, but both do have their specific uses for treating a variety of ailments.
Edit: This is not by any means a complete list, but for example: CBD helps reduce inflammation, THC helps with pain, nausea and vommiting. I believe THC is also the one that increases appetite, so CBD wouldn't do squat to help someone with an eating disorder, while THC would (or vice versa if I have the two mixed up in this instance).
CBD, since it doesn't actually get you "high" like THC does, has seen the explosion in CBD related products because that compound isn't anywhere nearly as highly regulated as any product containing THC would be.
