Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two natural molecules found in Cannabis Sativa L. (Hemp).
Cannabidiol and THC are just one of the many (probably 200) compounds found in the cannabis plant.
> Cannabidiol is not classified as a substance in its own right (only as a compound of cannabis extracts). In Europe, CBD is extracted from hemp. Hemp is a legal variety of Cannabis Sativa L containing less than 0.2% THC. Unlike illegal cannabis varieties, which contain much higher THC concentrations. Both CBD and THC are available in the form of flowers, oils, crystals, extractions, candies, etc.
> THC is the best-known psychoactive component of cannabis, responsible for altering consciousness: stoned, high, it makes you feel "high".
When we talk about the recreational use of cannabis, we're generally referring to a product rich in THC. (From 3% to 30% THC for weed, with an average of 11%, and from 7% to 85% for resin).
These two cannabinoids have an effect on our body, and more specifically on our endocannabinoid system (the system which maintains our body's equilibrium, such as body temperature, blood sugar levels, heart rate...).
However, they have different effects.
> Cannabis is generally prohibited in the EU. The exceptions are Portugal (possession of up to 25 grams is decriminalized and subject to a simple fine). The Netherlands allows consumers to possess and use cannabis at home, or in private spaces such as coffee shops. In Spain , too, the possession or consumption of cannabis is authorized only in private premises and "cannabis clubs". The cultivation of cannabis plants is authorized in private premises.
Overall, the use and possession of THC cannabis is punishable by penalties ranging from a reminder of the law to a prison sentence.
> CBD-based products are legal in the European Union and therefore legal in France. Provided they contain less than 0.2% THC and are made from authorized hemp seed.
"In France, there's no question of highlighting the differences between CBD and THC, or extolling the therapeutic benefits of the former. In France, cannabidiol cannot be considered a medicine, and must remain what it officially is: a dietary supplement." 
Scientific studies* have concluded that both CBD and THC have therapeutic properties.
> According to the same studies, CBD could soothe: inflammation, pain, mental disorders, gastric disorders, nausea (chemotherapy), migraines, depression and anxiety.
> Some scientific studies claim that THC has effects on insomnia, appetite, muscle spasms (multiple sclerosis), glaucoma and anxiety.
> The CBD molecule does not cause side effects, as indicated by the WHO.
> THC, on the other hand, causes a number of temporary side effects, such as increased heart rate, coordination problems, dry saliva, red eyes, reduced reactivity and memory loss.
High THC (cannabis) consumption can, in the long term, lead to psychiatric problems such as schizophrenia. This is even more true for young, heavy users, whose brains are still in the growth phase.
The joint use of CBD and THC potentially produces more effects than separate use.
For example, in a study from California Pacific Medical Center, researchers found that the combination of CBD and THC produced greater antitumor effects when applied to breast and brain cancer cell lines than when used alone. The study also found that patients suffering from cancer-related pain had better tolerance to drugs combining THC and CBD.

In the world of CBD, new cannabinoids are discovered almost every month. Between those that are among the hundred or so that the plant can produce and which have not yet been catalogued, and those that are created from scratch or simply chemically "improved", there's really no time to [...].
