The cannabinoids I talked about on today’s episode:
THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol):
The main psychoactive compound in cannabis, known for its pain-relieving, anti-nausea, and appetite-stimulating effects.
CBD (Cannabidiol):
A non-intoxicating cannabinoid with anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and seizure-reducing properties.
CBG (Cannabigerol):
Often called the "mother cannabinoid," CBG is being studied for its potential to support gut health, mood, and neuroprotection.
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin):
A cannabinoid with potential appetite-suppressant and blood sugar-regulating effects - sometimes called "diet weed."
CBN (Cannabinol):
Formed as THC ages, CBN is mildly psychoactive and often promoted for sleep and relaxation support.
CBC (Cannabichromene):
Non-intoxicating and anti-inflammatory, CBC may support brain health by encouraging the growth of new neurons.
