Cannabidiol
Tetrahydrocannabinol
Cannabidiolic Acid
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in cannabis. CBD doesn’t cause a high effect like from THC. Both contain 21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms. With the atoms arranged slightly differently, than THC, CBD causes a different effect on your body.
Cannabidiolic Acid
Tetrahydrocannabinol
Cannabidiolic Acid
Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) is a non-psychoactive compound found in Cannabis. CBDA can be decarboxylated to form CBD. We know a lot less about the effects of CBDA, as scientists are only just beginning to study it more. Containing a carboxyl group comprising one carbon, one hydrogen, and two oxygen atoms
Tetrahydrocannabinol
Tetrahydrocannabinol
Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid
THC, is the cannabis plant's primary component for causing psychoactive effects. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is one of at least 113 total cannabinoids identified in the cannabis plant, containing twenty-one atoms of carbon, thirty of hydrogen and two of oxygen.
Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid
Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid
Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid
One of the most common cannabinoid found in the cannabis. Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) Research shows that THCA has its own medicinal potential, can be converted into THC through decarboxylation by heating a cannabinoid until removing the carboxyl group
