Discovered over 50 years ago, Cannabichromene, or CBC, is considered one of the leading cannabinoids prominent in medical research. It doesn’t get as much attention, but the benefits of CBC are extremely promising.

CBC comes from the same origins as THC and CBD, meaning they are all derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA).

CBD is the second most prevalent ingredient of cannabis, and is one of the most well-known. CBD is found directly in the hemp plant, which is actually a cousin of the marijuana plant. Although CBD is an important part of medical marijuana, it does not cause a "high" effect.

Cannabigerol (CBG), nicknamed the “the Rolls-Royce of cannabinoids," has been shown to display a number of therapeutic advantages. CBG, however, is very expensive and difficult to produce due to its low quantities in the hemp plant.

As THC ages, CBN is created in the hemp plant. While some might view CBN as a Cannabinoid leftover, others find its benefits very advantageous. CBN is also non-intoxicating and is considered to be one of the minor cannabinoids.

THC, as you are probably aware, is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is one of many compounds found in the resin secreted by glands of the marijuana plant. A majority of these glands are found around the reproductive organs of the plant versus any other area of the plant.
