ECHO Connection 2018 Annual Report
Monday, 16 December 2019
“All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.” James Russell Lowell ECHO Connection is the first international charity focused on the healing properties of cannabinoids. In 3 short years ECHO’s work has spread throughout the globe as we advocate for a world where cannabinoids are universally available and accepted

Overview of CBDVa
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
Cannabidivarinic acid (CBDVa) is another minor cannabinoid found in cannabis sativa. It is the acidic version of cannabidivarin (CBDv). CBDVa is non-psychoactive, which means that it does not induce a “high” when it is taken. This should be reassuring for those who may want to try this cannabinoid but are worried about mind-altering effects. CBDVa

Overview of CBDv
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
Cannabidivarin (CBDv) is a cannabinoid found in cannabis. Non-psychoactive, it produces no high but is one of over 100 hundred cannabinoids found within cannabis with unique benefits. There are typically high levels of CBDv in cannabis located in northwest India and Nepal. There have been a few animal and human tests about the possible health

Overview of CBNa
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
Cannabinolic acid (CBNa) is one of many compounds found in cannabis. After the process of decarboxylation, CBNa converts into cannabinol (CBN). Decarboxylation is when one compound converts into another by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light. CBNa is believed to portray similar benefits as CBN. Though CBN is found in trace amounts within a cannabis

Overview of CBL
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
Cannabicyclol (CBL) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. It is one of over one hundred known compounds found within cannabis sativa. There is not a lot of information about this mysterious cannabinoid, so we don’t’ know yet what its effects on the human body might be. However, there is plenty of information known about how it is

Overview of CBCv
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
Cannabichromevarin (CBCv) was first discovered in 1975 by researchers from the University of Nagasaki who isolated the cannabinoid from the cannabis plant. However, after CBCv’s discovery, there was not much research done about it, but because of its similar molecular structure to CBC, it can be assumed that is shares some similar benefits. CBCv is

Overview of CBCa
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
Cannabichromenic acid (CBCa) is the acidic version of Cannabichromene (CBC). CBCa is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found within the cannabis plant. It is produced when Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa) goes through the process of degradation. The process of degradation is when a compound is exposed to heat or UV lights, which results in the original compound taking

An Overview of the Minor Cannabinoid CBGa
Monday, 03 June 2019
Overview of CBGa Cannabigerolic Acid is considered to be one of the most fundamental cannabinoids. Not only does CBGa have many possible health benefits, but it is responsible for the creation of THC and CBD which are generated through biosynthesis. Biosynthesis is when simple, less complex compounds are converted into other compounds. CBGa is formed

Overview of THCVa
Monday, 03 June 2019
Tetrahydrocannabivarin acid (THCVa) is the molecular precursor to Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). Through decarboxylation, THCVa converts into THCV. The process of decarboxylation is when cannabis is exposed to sunlight or heat. THCVa is non-psychoactive so there is no high associated with this cannabinoid. THCVa can be ingested raw and through juicing methods. THCVa does not seem to

Overview of Delta-8 THC
Monday, 03 June 2019
Delta-8-THC is a chemical compound found within cannabis. Though the cannabinoid is only found in trace amounts, delta-8-THC can provide much-needed relief when it is isolated. When it comes to delta-8-THC’s relation to delta-9-THC, the molecular structure is only slightly different, but important. Delta-8-THC is psychoactive, but the head high is less intense compared to

An Overview of the Minor Cannabinoid THCa
Monday, 03 June 2019
Overview of THCA You’ve likely heard a lot about THC, but THCA, also called tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is another compound that is being researched for its health potential. Both cannabinoids have very similar properties, but THCA is non-intoxicating. Found in live, raw cannabis, this chemical converts to THC as it is heated through decarboxylation Decarboxylation typically

Overview of CBDa
Monday, 03 June 2019
Overview of CBDa Cannabidiolic Acid is the acidic version of CBD. Found in raw or live forms of cannabis, CBDa is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. It is typically found in strains with higher CBD levels. CBD actually begins as CBDa. However, when CBDa goes through decarboxylation, it converts to CBD. The decarboxylation process happens when cannabis

Overview of Minor Cannabinoid, CBG
Thursday, 30 May 2019
Overview of Cannabigerol (CBG) Cannabigerol is one of the 100+ compounds found in cannabis. Because it is found in low levels within most strains, it is considered a minor cannabinoid. CBG is non-psychoactive which means it does not create the “high” feeling associated with the THC compound. An interesting fact about cannabigerol is that CBD and THC

An Overview of the Minor Cannabinoid THCv
Thursday, 30 May 2019
Overview of THCv Found within the cannabis sativa plant, Tetrahydrocannabivarin is a compound that has many different effects that can benefit people in both a medical and therapeutic sense. THCv is relatively similar to the compound THC when it comes to its psychoactive effects and molecular structure, however, it does work differently in the body.
