The Lesser-Known Cannabis Compounds

When most of us think about Cannabis, the two active substances that come to mind are THC and CBD. THC (short for tetrahydrocannabinol) is the prominent mind-altering component that gives cannabis most of its psychological changes. CBD (short for cannabidiol) is the non-psychoactive component that can give its users a calm and relaxing feeling. The lesser-known cannabis compounds you need to know about.

However, nature is more complicated than the combination of two components, and cannabis follows this rule with many other compounds that lead to many different effects. Today we take a look at the lesser-known chemical components found in certain strains of cannabis, and why they are more interesting and relevant than you might think.

Cannabis compound Cannabichromene (CBC) – anti-inflammatory / pain reduction / antibacterial
Starting with the more obscure and less talked about cannabis compounds, cannabichromene (CBC) is a result of the decarboxylation (heating) of cannabichromene carboxylic acid (CBCA). It is best known for its anti-inflammatory properties, particularly with reducing swelling of the intestinal tract. Furthermore, CBC is known to show some antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, as well as reducing pain and acting as a general analgesic.

Cannabis compound Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) – appetite suppressant/bone growth/anticonvulsant
Cannabis compound THCV is similar to THC in the way that it activates CB1 and CB2 receptors, but THCV acts as an opponent to those receptors rather than a protagonist. Unlike THC which is known as an appetite stimulant, THCV does the opposite and acts as an appetite suppressant. This can make THCV a great help towards weight loss. The effects of THCV also include promoting new bone cell growth, as well as showing properties that can help alleviate seizure-related disorders.

Cannabigerol (CBG) – Bacterial cell growth inhibitor/cancer cell growth inhibitor is another lesser known cannabis compound
Acting as a partial CB1/2 receptor agonist, cannabigerol (CBG) has been recognized for its ability to slow down and to kill bacterial growth, and in a small number of in vitro studies suggest it may have some anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. CBG can compete with, if not supersede, certain forms of antibiotics as far as its anti-bacterial properties, making it a potential agent against MRSA. Another known property of CBG is its ability to block the receptors which cause cancer cells to grow in the colon. This shows great potential for CBG with regards to curing colorectal cancer.

Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THCA) – Anti-inflammatory/antispasmodic cannabis compound
THCA is another non-psychoactive cannabis compound found in cannabis, and is, in fact, a precursor to THC. THCAdoesn’t fit into our body’s CB1 receptors. It only becomes THC through the process of heating and light, which then allows it to fit into those receptors. Unheated THCA helps raw cannabis to become a superfood, displaying anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties which can help with chronic pain, arthritis, and other conditions.

Cannabis compound Cannabinol (CBN) – Potential sedative / sleep help
Cannabinol (CBN) is a direct result of the deterioration of THC and gets created by the process of THC being heated and exposed to oxygen. CBN is known to create a mild sedative effect, and is often associated with the phenomenon called ‘couch lock’. Further research is still needed, but what is known so far about CBN gives it great promise as far as helping with certain sleeping conditions. CBN’s potential sedative virtues could also help with relaxation and the reduction of discomfort.

Why should you care about those compounds?
Cannabis has been demonized and relegated to being a recreational drug, and this has affected how people could use its potential, both medically and psychologically. Cannabis possesses a lot of properties that are beneficial to both the body and mind, it is far more than just a mean of getting high.

The relegation of cannabis as an illegal drug has slowed down scientific research that could potentially help a lot of people with different ailments. As we look into the different compounds found in cannabis, we discover all sorts of properties that are beneficial to many different illnesses and conditions.

We haven’t shown all the lesser-known compounds, but even showing a few of those demonstrates a lot of promise for the future. The more we look into cannabis, the more we discover. It is worth taking it seriously, and all those benefits shouldn’t be brushed off under the ‘stoner umbrella’. There is a medical revolution coming, and it should not be ignored under the guise of past prohibition.

Why should you care? It is pretty obvious at this point: cannabis could help you, a friend or a family relative to get better. There is no point pretending it can cure all the illnesses in the world, but it’s a fact that science continues to discover all manners of different virtues and properties that make cannabis no short of a ‘miracle plant’.

Isn't anybody else becoming ever more suspicious about the cannabis movement in general?. Same old thing year after year, articles claiming weed is linked to all sorts of amazing treatment with little to no actual evidence. Then the cliche of blaming the lack of reserach on legality reasons. If it was so illegal and n/a researchable then how the fuck did they figure out all those possible benefits they so love to pull out their ass?.

I think a lot of it is just half made it academics jumping on the same old cannabis merry go round for site traffic>advertising rev.

I'm also becoming sceptical of the ever higher reported benefits of cannabis with little to no mention of downsides. It's not near as illegal as is made out, research is not near as shaded as they make out and the benefits are not near as abundant as they are making out. It's just bs and smoke screen while profit lines are being drawn in the sand.

With the projected revenue involved in cannabis.. and the blatant ignorance in ''nothing but positive effects'' the general users have of cannabis I find myself with a new mentality. It isn't what research they have done to prove cannas positive effect.. it's the research they have done that disqualifies it.. yet may hide it given the interest and profit involved.

Did you know £$millions is made every year selling people epsom salt?. Put it in the bath and yada yada nothing but positive effects, says the tin. Theirs actually no proof the body absorbs magnesium in that way, on the contrary. They are not jumping around waving that contradictory research in peoples face, but lets beleive canna will be different.

Great post Vostok! Flowki, I too am suspisious of merchants claims of medicinal benifits of cannabinoids. I condiser there are health benifits in the plant, but the variables involved in producing any product are too great, especially in a expanding market. With greed and pure bullshit the way it is I cannot make a balanced decision on a product or producer. At present growing selecting and processing your own produce has gotta be the safest and most sensible option. This time last year I bought my 1 and only cbd product. Now I'm growing my first cbd strain. I will say earlier this year I read that Switzerland put a 25% tax on cbd flower, and that helped me pull the trigger on the seeds.

Exactly, with so many claims of benefit (increasing all the time) it will take decades to research fact from fiction due to the overwhelming complexities of cannabis interactions. On top of that, a lot of people think studies in general are inherently fact based, free of manipulation or critical error. In the mean time, I fear for people who are making life altering choices on this alternative medicine, on account of the increased snake adverts. What is more evident of cannabis being on sketchy ground is the reaction of people when you highlight downsides of chronic cannabis use. It is often met with hostility but everything has a downside. If a person or company alludes this they are deceitful or naively bias.
