CBD - Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has shown great potential in a wide array of medicinal settings. CBD has been specifically bred out of many modern marijuana strains, as recreational users tend to prefer strains high in the psychoactive THC. Research has indicated that CBD can also reduce the psychoactive effects of THC.

New research has shown that CBD may actually inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and indicates CBD is a powerful anti-inflammatory. This new understanding of CBD is leading the way to a renaissance in the marijuana industry. As physicians, patients and breeders begin to understand the value of CBD, new strains with higher CBD levels are quickly gaining popularity.

CBDA - Fresh marijuana samples contain the bulk of their CBD in the form of its acid CBDA. Like THCA, CBDA requires the application of heat or a chemical catalyst to convert into CBD. Being non-psychotropic, it is also a powerful anti-inflammatory without the side effect of intoxication.

THCA - 'THCA' is the most common form of THC found in raw marijuana samples. THCA readily converts to Δ9-THC after application of heat or chemical catalyst. This non-psychoactive form of THC can be of great medicinal value by; reducing inflammation, reducing muscle spasms and even suppressing the growth of tumors.

CBNThe product of decaying THC, the cannabinoid CBN is uncommon in fresh marijuana.Upon consumption, CBN interacts with the remaining THC and amplifies its psychotropic effects. The effects of CBN are commonly described as sedative and can be helpful for those treating some sleeping disorders.

Until next time....
