Here are the top 10 cannabinoids:
- Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC): THC is the most well-known and psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. It is responsible for the “high” associated with marijuana use.
- Cannabidiol (CBD): CBD is another prominent cannabinoid found in cannabis. Unlike THC, it does not produce psychoactive effects and has gained popularity for its potential therapeutic properties.
- Cannabinol (CBN): CBN is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that is formed when THC ages or is exposed to oxygen. It may have sedative effects and is sometimes used as a sleep aid.
- Cannabigerol (CBG): CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is considered a precursor to other cannabinoids. It may have potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.
- Cannabichromene (CBC): CBC is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that may have anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and anti-depressant properties. It is found in higher concentrations in certain cannabis strains.
- Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV): THCV is a psychoactive cannabinoid that is structurally similar to THC but produces a different type of high. It may also have potential appetite-suppressing and anti-seizure properties.
- Cannabidivarin (CBDV): CBDV is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is structurally similar to CBD. It is being studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the treatment of epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
- Cannabicyclol (CBL): CBL is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is formed through the degradation of other cannabinoids. Its properties and effects are not as well-studied as other cannabinoids.
- Cannabitriol (CBT): CBT is a minor cannabinoid found in cannabis. It is structurally similar to THC but has different effects and properties.
- Cannabielsoin (CBE): CBE is a minor cannabinoid that is formed through the degradation of THC. Its effects and properties are not as well-understood as other cannabinoids.
