In contrast to THC, CBD provides soothing, relaxing effects that might lead to a boost in mood but do not cause intoxication. When combined with THC in a 1:1 ratio such as is found in Mendo Sauce, CBD retains its relaxing and pain-relieving faculties, adding them to the effects of THC rather than becoming overpowered. The indica terpenes found in both parent strains add to the inherently relaxing synergy offered by THC and CBD in Mendo Sauce. THC, for its part, loses its propensity to overwhelm the user when combined with its natural “guard rail:” CBD.
