Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Today the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested and confirmed by scientists and doctors around the world. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.

CBD is closely related to another important medicinally active phytocannabinoid: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound that causes the high that cannabis is famous for. These are the two components of cannabis that have been most studied by scientists.

Both CBD and THC have significant therapeutic attributes. But unlike THC, CBD does not make a person feel “stoned” or intoxicated. That’s because CBD and THC act in different ways on different receptors in the brain and body.

CBD can actually lessen or neutralize the psychoactive effects of THC, depending on how much of each compound is consumed. Many people want the health benefits of cannabis without the high – or with less of a high. The fact that CBD is therapeutically potent as well as non-intoxicating, and easy to take as a CBD oil, makes it an appealing treatment option for those who are cautious about trying cannabis for the first time.

Cannabinol (CBN), is a powerful hemp-derived cannabinoid that works naturally to help manage pain, sleep and stress by interacting with your body’s endocannabinoid system. 

Cannabigerol (CBG) it is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. And while pretty much any hemp or cannabis plant contains some CBG, only young cannabis plants contain appreciable amounts. Cannabinoids are compounds that interact with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Cannabichromene (CBC) a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, alongside better known cannabinoids like CBD and THC. Like CBD and THC, it is considered one of the “big six” cannabinoids prominent in current medical research. Unlike THC, CBC is not intoxicating.

Delta 8: Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as delta-8 THC, is a psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis sativa plant, of which marijuana and hemp are two varieties

Delta 9: Delta 9 is a type of cannabis. It gets its name from the fact that it has 9 THC molecules. Unlike CBD, delta 9 THC is psychoactive, which means it can make you feel high.

THC P: THC-P is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid made in the cannabis plant from the molecule known as cannabigerolic acid – also known as “the mother cannabinoid”. Although it appears naturally in cannabis plants, THC-P is typically made in a lab, created from hemp containing a maximum of 0.3% delta-9-THC.

THC V:      Tetrahydrocannabivarin, or THCV, is a psychoactive cannabinoid found most prevalently in Sativa strains of cannabis. It is known to produce a more motivated, alert and energizing feeling of euphoria.

THC-A:   Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid is a precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an active component of cannabis
