Pharmacology

How THC:CBD works

Cannabinoids work through the endocannabinoid system, a fundamental regulatory network present throughout the body and brain. The balanced THC:CBD ratio provides therapeutic benefits while minimizing intoxication and side effects.

CB1/CB2 Receptor Modulation

Endocannabinoid system activation for pain modulation, mood regulation, and immune function. Full-spectrum cannabinoid effect.

GABAergic Effects

Anxiolytic properties through GABA pathway modulation. Natural anxiety relief without dependency risks of benzodiazepines.

Anti-inflammatory Cascade

Reduces TNF-alpha and inflammatory cytokines. Particularly effective for chronic inflammatory pain conditions.

Pharmacokinetics

How your body processes it

CBD and THC share similar metabolism pathways but differ dramatically in bioavailability and clearance, especially between oral and inhaled routes. Understanding these differences explains the route-dependent clinical effects.

CBD (Cannabidiol)
Bioavailability (oral)	~6% (high first-pass metabolism)
Bioavailability (inhaled)	~31% (avoids first-pass)
T_max (oral)	1–4 hours
Elimination half-life	18–32 hours
Protein binding	>99% (highly protein-bound)
Metabolism	CYP2C19 (primary), CYP3A4 (secondary)
Active metabolite	7-OH-CBD (active)
THC (Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol)
Bioavailability (oral)	~6–20% (highly variable, food-dependent)
Bioavailability (inhaled)	~10–35% (faster onset)
T_max (oral)	1–5 hours (variable)
Elimination half-life	25–36 hours (lipophilic, accumulates in fat)
Protein binding	95–99% (extremely lipophilic)
Metabolism	CYP2C9 (primary), CYP3A4 (secondary)
Primary metabolite	11-OH-THC (psychoactive) → THC-COOH (inactive, long detection window)
Detection window	THC-COOH detectable in urine 30+ days after discontinuation
Entourage Effect (CBD:THC combination)
CBD modulation	CBD is an allosteric modulator of CB1 — reduces THC's psychoactive/anxiogenic effects
Optimal ratio	Anxiety/pain: 20:1 CBD:THC; Sleep: 1:1; Inflammation: Pure CBD preferred

Dosing

Optimal protocol

Dosing is highly individualized based on condition, CBD:THC ratio, route, and patient tolerance. Your AYUSH physician will design a personalized dosing schedule based on therapeutic goals.

Microdose (THC emphasis)

THC 1–2.5mg. Anxiety, focus, mild pain. Minimal intoxication. Effects felt within 1–2 hours (oral). CBD:THC ratio 10:1 to 20:1 recommended. Standard entry point.

START HERE

CBD Dominant Dosing

10–25mg CBD daily. For anxiety, inflammation, seizures, autoimmune. Start low, titrate up every 3–5 days. Can combine with low-dose THC (1–5mg) for entourage effect.

INFLAMMATION/ANXIETY

1:1 Ratio (Balanced)

Equal THC and CBD (e.g., 5mg THC + 5mg CBD). Pain control, sleep disorders. Better psychoactive tolerance than pure THC. Effects emerge over 1–3 weeks.

PAIN/SLEEP

Route Matters

Oral: slower onset (1–5h), longer duration (6–12h), food increases absorption. Sublingual: faster (15–30min). Inhaled: fastest (5–15min), shortest duration. Your physician will choose optimal route.

The CB1 receptor allosteric modulator mechanism of CBD explains its anxiolytic without intoxication

Laprairie et al. molecular pharmacology study. CBD acts as negative allosteric modulator (NAM) at CB1 — dampens THC's psychoactive effects. Explains why CBD:THC combinations reduce anxiety while THC alone can increase it.

Serious (rare)

THC psychosis: Risk in predisposed individuals (family history of schizophrenia). Onset typically within first month of use. Resolved by discontinuation. CBD liver elevation: Very high doses (>1000mg/day) can elevate liver enzymes in ~5% of users. Monitor LFTs at baseline and 3 months. Reversible upon discontinuation. Drug interactions: Both CBD and THC inhibit CYP3A4/CYP2D6 — see Interactions section. Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome: Rare, with chronic heavy THC use — recurrent nausea/vomiting cycles. Resolved by cessation.

Interactions

Drug interactions

CBD is a potent CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 inhibitor. THC is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C9. Both can increase levels of many drugs significantly. Your AYUSH physician must review all medications and supplements.

Clobazam (benzodiazepine anticonvulsant)

CBD increases clobazam levels ~3-fold via CYP3A4 inhibition. Can cause excessive sedation, ataxia. Significant clinical evidence. If combining, reduce clobazam dose by 25–50% or use alternative anticonvulsant. Monitor for toxicity.

Mechanism: CYP3A4 inhibition by CBD → clobazam AUC increases 3x

Warfarin and other anticoagulants

CBD increases warfarin levels and INR significantly. Increased bleeding risk documented. If combining essential, monitor INR weekly (vs monthly baseline). Warfarin dose reduction likely needed. Discuss with cardiologist.

Mechanism: CYP2C9 inhibition (THC & CBD) → warfarin clearance decreased

Other CYP3A4 substrates (Fentanyl, Methadone, Ketoconazole, etc.)

CBD can increase levels of any CYP3A4-metabolized drug, including opioids. Risk of overdose with fentanyl; methadone accumulation. Discuss with prescribing physician. Dose adjustments likely needed.

Mechanism: CBD inhibits CYP3A4 → substrate accumulation

CYP2D6 substrates (Metoprolol, Venlafaxine, antipsychotics, etc.)

CBD inhibits CYP2D6. May increase levels of metoprolol (bradycardia risk), SSRIs/SNRIs (serotonin toxicity), antipsychotics. Monitor for toxicity signs. Dose adjustments may be needed.

Mechanism: CYP2D6 inhibition → substrate accumulation

Immunosuppressants (Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine)

Both CBD and THC are immunomodulatory. May reduce immunosuppressive efficacy (pro-inflammatory effects) or paradoxically increase risk of rejection. Use with extreme caution in transplant patients. Requires close monitoring.

Mechanism: Cannabinoid immune stimulation + CYP3A4 inhibition

CNS Depressants (Benzodiazepines, alcohol, opioids)

Both THC and CBD enhance CNS depression. THC + alcohol or benzodiazepines: excessive sedation, impaired cognition, driving risk. Combined opioids + cannabinoids: overdose risk, respiratory depression. Avoid or minimize.

Mechanism: Additive CNS depressant effects

Caffeine and other minor CYP substrates

CBD may increase caffeine levels slightly, increasing jitteriness. Generally manageable by reducing caffeine intake. Monitor subjective response; dose adjustments usually unnecessary.

Mechanism: Minor CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 inhibition by CBD
