-here’s just 6 of the many cannabinoids found in cannabis- THC- tetrahydrocannabinol binds to the CB1 receptor in the central nervous system and the CB2 receptor in the immune system. it acts as a partial agonist, which means it activates them both but not to their fullest extent. makes 70% to 90% of the high in cannabis when consumed. CBD- cannabidiol appears to effect both the CB1 & CB2 receptors with a higher affinity for the CB2 receptors. medically it appears to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, nausea, and to inhibit cancer cell growth. it also has atypical psychotic effects in treating schizophrenia. generally has a sedative effect and may prolong the high. CBN- cannabinol binds to both the CB1 & CB2 receptors but with a lower affinity than THC. cannabinol is produced as THC degrades or oxidizes. only trace amounts are found in fresh bud. at most, it has 10% of the psychoactive effects of THC. high levels of CBN can make you feel more drugged than high. THCV- tetrahydrocannabivarin binds to the CB1 receptor and may act as an antagonist, which means it may block the effects of THC. potential treatment for type-2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders. THCV helps make up most of the fragrance, along with terpens, of cannabis. the more fragrant your bud is the higher the levels of THCV. it may bring the high on faster, but also may make the high fade faster. CBC- cannabichromene may play a role in anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis. it also may contribute to the overall analgesic effects of medical marijuana. CBC can make up to 20% of the cannabinoid profile in a plant and is thought to help make the high more intense although it is not thought to be psychoactive. CBL- cannabicyclol is degradative like cannabinol, CBN. light converts CBL to CBN. naturally, indicas have more CBL than sativas which is why indica dominant strains can be heavy in respect to the high. to keep your CBN levels down and to keep CBL from converting to CBN store your bud in an airtight container in a cool and dark place. -here is a quick guide to help- -high THC and low CBD contribute to a strong, clear, energetic high. -high CBD and low THC contribute to a buzzed or stoned feeling. the mind feels dull and the body feels tired. -high levels of both THC and CBD can contribute to a strong head-stone and a dreamlike feeling.
basically, sativa dominant strains have more THC than CBD and indica dominant strains have more CBD then THC. there are strains the have close to equal parts of both THC and CBD, such as the s.a.g.e’s and other 50/50 hybrids. for a lot more information on cannabinoids and endocannabinoids please visit these sites: http://www.endocannabinoid.net/ http://www.uccs.edu/~rmelamed/
