There are a lot of large words that shoppers hear when it comes to hemp-derived products. One of these words is cannabinoid. In fact, this is one of the most commonly heard words when it comes to the hemp industry.
The topic of cannabinoids is fascinating and something every individual who uses hemp products should learn about. But while interesting, it has a wide range of information to cover. Not sure where to begin learning? Here are a few stepping stones to get started:
Cannabinoids: A Basic Overview
A cannabinoid is part of the hemp plant that provides many of the properties we utilize hemp for. Some cannabinoids produce calming properties while others produce appetite-stimulating properties. With the expansion of legal hemp and the influx of biomass on the market, the scientific and medical communities have devoted resources to exploring the potential benefits of individual cannabinoids and how they can be used.
According to information from the Reference Module in Biomedical Sciences, “Cannabinoids are a structurally diverse family of compounds with many biological targets. Based on their origins, cannabinoids can be classified into three groups: Phytocannabinoids, endocannabinoids, and synthetic cannabinoids.”
Cannabinoids Every Shopper Should Know
There are a few cannabinoids every shopper should know. These cannabinoids are found on store shelves across the nation. Let’s take a closer look at each one:
CBD
Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is the most abundant cannabinoid found within the hemp plant. According to the Mayo Clinic, “CBD doesn’t contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana that produces a high.”
This cannabinoid is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. Since is also one of the most abundant cannabinoids found within the hemp plant, research on CBD has progressed much more quickly than some other cannabinoids on the market.
Delta 8 THC
Delta 8 THC is one of the handful of psychoactive cannabinoids found within the hemp plant. This cannabinoid is known for its calming and euphoric properties. According to research from the University of Michigan and the University at Buffalo, individuals who use Delta 8 THC products primarily use it for the management of stress, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.
Delta 9 THC
Similar to Delta 8 THC, Delta 9 THC also produces psychoactive properties. This cannabinoid is known for its relaxing and euphoric properties. It is also one of the more abundant cannabinoids found within the hemp plant, after CBD. Shoppers with a higher tolerance level also prefer Delta 9 THC over Delta 8 THC due to its increased potency.
HHC
HHC is one of the newer cannabinoids to step into the spotlight. This cannabinoid is known to have euphoric properties. According to research published by the American Chemical Society, “With regard to therapeutic potential, studies have shown that HHCs 4a and 4b may be valuable leads for the treatment of colon cancer and ocular hypotony.”
It should be noted that there is still much we are learning about HHC and what role it can play in the medical field. At the time of this writing, research is still considered preliminary.
