There are lots of chemicals, otherwise known as cannabinoids, found in the cannabis plant. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabichromene (CBC), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN) are known as the “big six” cannabinoids. You’ve probably heard of most of them, especially if you’ve read some of our earlier cannabis science blogs. They are cannabinoids found in higher amounts in the cannabis plant compared to other cannabinoids, as well as being cannabinoids of particular medical interest.
Now, to get a little bit confusing, CBC, THCV, CBG and CBN are considered minor cannabinoids. Only THC and CBD are considered the major cannabinoids. However, as we’ve already looked at the big 6, we’ll take a look at some of the other cannabinoids that could have some therapeutic properties. This blog explores 10 rarer cannabinoids and how they could be used by medical cannabis patients.
