Cannabinoids- Did You Know?

by | Jun 5, 2019

The product profiles have different acronyms but what are they really?  Check it out!

#1) THCA is the acidic parent of THC found in the raw cannabis plant.  When exposed to heat, sunlight, or time, the THCA in the harvested plant will convert to THC.  THCA is non-psychoactive and is particularly useful for reducing nausea, reducing seizures, reducing muscle spasms, and fighting tumor and cancer cells.

#2) CBDA is the acidic parent of CBD found in raw plant.  CBDA converts to CBD when it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or time.  Like THCA, CBDA is non-psychoactive. CBDA is also great for reducing nausea, reducing inflammation, and fighting tumor and cancer cells.

#3) CBN is a breakdown product of THC. As harvested cannabis ages, THC will gradually be converted to CBN.  CBN is known to be particularly useful for aiding sleep, and also good for reducing pain and muscle spasms.

#4) CBGA is actually the precursor molecule that is turned into THCA and CBDA as the cannabis plant develops, so it is found only in tiny amounts in the mature plant.  In the harvested plant, remaining CBGA converts to CBG with exposure to air and light.

#5) CBG is useful as an antidepressant, a muscle relaxant, an antibiotic and antifungal agent, and as a blood pressure reducer.

#6) CBC is also found only in tiny amounts in the cannabis plant.  CBC has pain reducing, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-cancer effects.

#7) THCV does have psychoactive properties, but much less than THC.  THCV has been found to suppress appetite and can aid weight loss, and also has antiseizure effect.

The more we understand cannabinoids, the more we can pursue true healing with this plant.
