Cannabis Oil Health Benefits, Properties, and Uses

Cannabis oil is the oil extract from the cannabis plant. It is a thick, sticky resin substance composed of cannabinoids, the active chemical compounds that naturally occur in cannabis plants.

Cannabis oil is a general term used to describe the oil that comes from the cannabis plant. However, different types of cannabis oil contain different cannabinoids. Cannabis oil products  will indicate which types of cannabinoids are present in the product. For example, THC cannabis oil contains the THC cannabinoid, which is the psychoactive compound. CBD oil generally doesn’t contain THC, and instead contains cannabidiol—another cannabinoid with no psychoactive effect.
