CANNABINOID 101
CBD: The Calming Cannabinoid
CBD is one of the most prevalent cannabinoids with non-intoxicating effects. CBD shows potential as an anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and anti-epileptic agent. CBD regulates the ECS and can inhibit overwhelming effects of THC.
CBG: The Mother Cannabinoid
CBG is the first cannabinoid produced by the plant. When used in combination with other cannabinoids like CBD, many users report finding better results for pain and relaxation CBG is a great mood regulator and works well for soft tissues.
CBN: The Regulator
CBN is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that can regulate sleep cycles. Research suggests CBN can be a good anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anticonvulsant, both in animals and humans. There is indication that it has appetite-stimulating properties.
DELTA-8 THC: The New Kid
Delta-8 gives similar effects to its psychoactive cousin THC, but without the “high”. It has appetite-stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties found in THC, but without the psychotropic effect. Delta-8 offers a physical sedation without feeling too intoxicated.
THC: The Star of the Show
THC interacts with receptors in the brain that produce the “high” experienced by dopamine release. The higher the THC concentration, the higher the psychoactive effects, intoxication, and sense of euphoria. Research suggests that THC can relieve chronic pain, and has promise as an effective aid in treating nausea, loss of appetite, depression, insomnia, and anxiety, but more research is needed to confirm these findings
