    Study Notes

    Phytocannabinoids

    • Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoids that naturally occur in plants.
    • They act upon the Endocannabinoid System, binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors.
    • Some phytocannabinoids produce a psychoactive effect, while others do not.

    Δ-9-THC (THC)

    • The most known and prominent cannabinoid, producing a psychoactive effect.
    • Effects: "gets you high", pain relief, anti-nausea, anti-anxiety, helps with spasticity, sleep, and mood elevation.
    • Also has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotectant properties.
    • Fun facts: incomplete absorption in the lungs, greater bioavailability with a high-fat diet, stored in fatty tissue, and crosses the blood-brain barrier.

    CBD (Cannabidiol)

    • The second most commonly known cannabinoid, known for not producing a psychoactive effect.
    • Effects: inhibition of GI activity, anti-inflammatory, pain relief, anti-seizure, anti-anxiety, mood elevation, and antibacterial properties.
    • Also has anti-cancer, antioxidant, antipsychotic, and neuroprotectant properties.
    • Fun facts: not intoxicating, no tolerance or withdrawal, alerting effects in lower doses, and can be used to treat THC withdrawal.

    CBD-A (Cannabidiolic Acid)

    • The acidic state of CBD in the cannabis plant, before combustion or vaporization.
    • Effects: anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, potential anti-seizure, and pain relief.
    • Fun facts: not intoxicating, found in RAW cannabis, and more potent than CBD for anti-nausea effects.

    CBD-V (Cannabidivarin)

    • Similar to CBD, non-psychoactive, and currently being developed as a synthetic drug.
    • Effects: anti-convulsant and relieves neuropathic pain.
    • Fun facts: not intoxicating, may help in Rett syndrome, and currently being developed as a synthetic drug.

    CBG (Cannabigerol)

    • The "godmother of all cannabinoids", the first cannabinoid created in the cannabis plant.
    • Effects: antibacterial, anti-cancer, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotectant properties.
    • Fun facts: not intoxicating, found in higher amounts in hemp, and may block anti-nausea effects of CBD.

    CBN (Cannabinol)

    • Forms when THC oxidizes with time or light, making you tired.
    • Effects: antibacterial, anticonvulsant, promotes bone growth, and relieves pain.
    • Fun facts: a breakdown product of THC, increases as THC degrades over time, and not present in freshly cut flowers.

    Δ-8-THC (Delta-8)

    • A recent phenomenon in the cannabis arena, known for its potential THC "high" without the failed drug test.
    • Effects: anti-anxiety, anti-cancer, neuroprotectant, and relieves pain.
    • Fun facts: conflicting research on intoxicating effects, concentrated amounts are typically manufactured from hemp-derived CBD.

    THC-A (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid)

    • The acidic precursor to THC, non-intoxicating in its natural state.
    • Effects: anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and neuroprotectant properties.
    • Fun facts: not intoxicating, the main compound in raw cannabis flowers, and converts to THC with heat.

    THC-V (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabivarin)

    • Found in sativa-leaning varieties, non-psychoactive, and has potential for weight and diabetes management.
    • Effects: anti-cancer, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotectant properties.
    • Fun facts: not intoxicating in low doses, may be beneficial for Parkinson's disease, and known to suppress appetite.
