Cannabinoids are the chemical compounds found throughout the plant and highly concentrated in the trichomes. Cannabinoids offer therapeutic properties and medical benefits. Strain profiles are heavily influenced by their cannabinoid and terpene content.
Cannabinoids | Therapeutic Properties + Benefits |
THC | Psychoactive, analgesic, anti-depressant, reduces nausea/vomiting, sedative, antispasmodic, appetite stimulant, neuroprotective, psychoactive, bronchodilator |
THCA | Acidic form of THC. Psychoactive when decarbed (applying heat or extensive light)/ if consumed raw considered to have no psychoactivity (also found in flower), anti-inflammatory, inhibits cancer cell growth, antispasmodic, relieves anxiety, neuroprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-tumor |
Delta-8-THC | Mildly psychoactive. Delta-8-THC can be converted in a lab from cannabidiol (CBD) and Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), commonly converted from CBD.
