[11] [12] At least three independent methods have successfully converted CBD to THC. Despite the CBD and THC having the same molecular weight, multiple analytical methods are able to differentiate them. [11] "on the recovery of both THC (86.7−90.0%) and CBD (92.3−95.6%). The slightly lower recovery of THC can be explained by the fact that ...
[4] [19] CBD does not have the same psychoactivity as THC, [24] [25] and can modulate the psychoactive effects of THC on the body if both are present. [16] [24] [26] [27] Conversion of CBD to THC can occur when CBD is heated to temperatures between 250–300 °C, potentially leading to its partial transformation into THC. [28]
CBD shares a precursor with THC and is the main cannabinoid in CBD-dominant Cannabis strains. CBD has been shown to play a role in preventing the short-term memory loss associated with THC. [29] There is tentative evidence that CBD has an anti-psychotic effect, but research in this area is limited. [30] [24]
CBD oil from hemp plants (strains of the Cannabis sativa plant with no more than 0.3 percent THC) is by definition less likely to be contaminated with significant amounts of THC. The risk is ...
This molecule, derived from the cannabis plant, helps support the body’s endocannabinoid system, and that system is involved with nearly every biological process, including digestion, metabolism ...
CBD is a very low-affinity CB 1 ligand, that can nevertheless affect CB 1 receptor activity in vivo in an indirect manner, while THCV is a high-affinity CB 1 receptor ligand and potent antagonist in vitro and yet only occasionally produces effects in vivo resulting from CB 1 receptor antagonism.
[1] [2] THC and CBD are stored mostly in the trichomes of the plant, [3] and can cause psychological and physical impairment in the user, via the endocannabinoid system and unique receptors. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] THC increases dopamine levels in the brain, which attributes to the euphoric and relaxed feelings cannabis provides.
