Like CBD, CBC (cannabichromene) is non-psychoactive. This minor cannabinoid lacks the ability to produce a “high” since it doesn’t attach to CB1 receptors in the same way as THC. In addition, CBC behaves differently within the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is the master regulator of body functions. CBC is capable of interacting with receptors outside of the ECS, which distinguishes it from other cannabinoids.
Through this interaction with various receptors, CBC appears to have an especially strong effect on pain and inflammation, possibly even stronger than dangerously addictive opioids. With further research and testing, CBC could become a valuable tool in the battle against opioid addiction. As for now, people who take CBC describe it as soothing, both physically and mentally. On top of that, it can act as a cannabinoid potentiator, meaning that it may boost the effectiveness of other cannabinoids when taken in combination with one another.
Cannabichromene (CBC) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. It's one of over 100 different cannabinoids identified in the plant. CBC is derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) in the cannabis plant, which is also a precursor to THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids.
No, CBC is not psychoactive like THC. It does not produce a "high" when consumed.
Yes, CBC does interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex system of receptors, enzymes, and endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) that play roles in a variety of physiological processes including mood, memory, appetite, pain sensation, and immune function. The primary receptors in the ECS are CB1 and CB2 receptors. While THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is known for its direct interaction with the CB1 receptors, resulting in psychoactive effects, CBC doesn't strongly bind to these receptors. Instead, CBC is thought to exert its effects through other mechanisms within the ECS and possibly other biological systems.
CBC can reach TRPV1 and TRPA1 ion channels. These receptors are involved in pain perception.
Some researchers believe that all the compounds in cannabis (cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids) can work together synergistically, producing an "entourage effect." This means the combined effect of the cannabis compounds can be greater than the sum of their individual effects. In this context, CBC may enhance the overall therapeutic effects of cannabis when combined with other cannabinoids and compounds..
Yes, CBC can be found in trace amounts in some hemp-derived CBD products, but it's typically more abundant in full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD products.
CBC can be extracted from cannabis using various methods, including CO2 extraction and ethanol extraction.
Here in the United States, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, CBC is a federally legal cannabinoid.
Some studies suggest that CBC may have analgesic properties and could potentially be used for pain management, although more research is needed. Preliminary research suggests that CBC may have potential as an anti-anxiety and antidepressant compound, but more studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness. Also, some studies have explored the potential of CBC as an anti-cancer agent, particularly in combination with other cannabinoids. However, more research is needed in this area, too.
While CBC is considered safe, there is limited research on its side effects. Some people may experience mild side effects, such as dry mouth or dizziness.
While CBC is primarily found in cannabis, it is not typically present in significant amounts in other plant sources.
How much CBC you should consume each day depends on your tolerance, your daily needs and your personal preferences. Most people find that anywhere from 10 to 40 milligrams daily gives them the results they desire, but the human body can tolerate higher dosage amounts as well. As a beginner, you should start with a dosage amount on the lower end, such as 5 to 10 milligrams, to see how CBD makes you feel.
CBC can be consumed through various methods, including smoking or vaporizing cannabis strains with high CBC content, using CBC-rich cannabis extracts or tinctures, or incorporating CBC into edibles or topicals.
You can take more than one CBC product in a day. Many people do, in fact, take multiple CBC products in one day, such as taking a gummy in the morning and a tincture at night. Dosage amount, milligram strength and timing of each dose all play a role in how the products will interact with one another, but generally speaking, doubling up on CBC is totally fine.
A lot of people notice that they feel more at ease after the very first time they take CBC. But, most people find that after about 2 weeks of daily use, the full effects of the compound really start to kick in. This is because CBC works cumulatively, building up in the body through consistent use.
If you’re taking any medications, it is best to speak with your doctor first, since they’ve access to your medical history, and can therefore make a proper determination if taking CBC is alright to do.
