Bone problems, including traditional fractures as well as osteoporosis, pose a significant threat to one’s health. When your bones aren’t healthy, it typically means you can become weak, can’t get exercise, or experience other issues. Bone degeneration is thought by many to be a side effect of old age, and therefore unavoidable. However, there is

Overview of CBDVa
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
by andrea
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 CBNa
Tuesday, 25 June 2019
by andrea
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

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

by andrea
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

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

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

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

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

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
