Everyone knows about THC and CBD, but the cannabis plant produces over 100 different cannabinoids. As the industry matures, these minor cannabinoids are gaining attention for their unique properties.

CBN (Cannabinol)

What it is: CBN forms when THC oxidizes over time. Often marketed as a sleep aid.

Why people use it: Sleep support, relaxation without strong intoxication

CBG (Cannabigerol)

What it is: The parent cannabinoid from which others are synthesized. Non-intoxicating.

Why people use it: Inflammation, daytime focus and clarity, gut health

THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)

What it is: A THC analog that produces a clear, energetic high.

Why people use it: Energy and focus, appetite suppression, shorter-duration high

Delta-8 THC

What it is: An isomer of Delta-9 THC with milder effects.

Why people use it: Gentler psychoactive experience, reduced anxiety compared to Delta-9

The Entourage Effect

Many researchers believe cannabinoids work better together than in isolation. This entourage effect suggests that the full spectrum of cannabinoids creates synergistic benefits.
