Cannabis is well-known for its primary cannabinoids, THC and CBD, but the plant offers much more. Compounds like CBN, CBG, and THCV are gaining attention for their unique properties and potential benefits. These cannabinoids contribute to the diverse effects of cannabis, from aiding sleep to improving focus and even helping with weight management. By understanding what makes these lesser-known cannabinoids special, you can better appreciate the full potential of the cannabis plant and make more informed decisions about which products may suit your needs.
Cannabinol (CBN)
CBN is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that forms when THC ages and oxidizes. It’s often associated with its sedative effects, making it a popular choice for those seeking sleep support. In addition, early studies suggest CBN may have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, although more research is needed to confirm these benefits.
Cannabigerol (CBG)
Known as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG is the precursor to THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. While typically found in low concentrations, it’s non-intoxicating and shows potential for reducing inflammation and even supporting gut health. Research also indicates that CBG might have neuroprotective properties, making it a cannabinoid worth watching.
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)
THCV stands out due to its unique structure and effects. At low doses, it can suppress appetite, which contrasts with THC’s well-known “munchies” effect. In higher doses, THCV may produce psychoactive effects similar to THC, but with a more clear-headed sensation. THCV is also being studied for its potential to help with weight management and blood sugar regulation.
