CBC

CBC (cannabichromene) is the cannabinoid most people haven't met yet, and you can try it here in CBC gummies, CBC candies and CBC tinctures.

So what is it? CBC is one of more than 100 cannabinoids identified in the cannabis plant. Researchers first identified it in 1964 at Hebrew University in Israel. After THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), it's the most abundant cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the plant, which makes it a little funny that so few people know its name. Honestly, we think it deserves more attention than it gets.

Here's the thing: CBC binds poorly to the CB1 receptors, so on its own it has no psychoactive effect. It interacts with two other receptors instead, TRPV1 and TRPA1.

The products in this collection come from Cheeba Chews, Mellow Fellow and Urb. Some pair CBC with CBD or CBG (cannabigerol), and some include Delta 9 THC, which makes for a very different experience. Flavor, format, ingredients and strength all have a part to play, so compare the product details before you pick. Everything we carry is third-party lab tested, and there are gluten-free options too.

FAQs

Does CBC have psychoactive effects?

Not on its own. CBC doesn't bind well with the CB1 receptor, so CBC by itself has no euphoric effect. A product that also contains Delta 9 THC is a different story. That one is psychoactive, so check the product details before you order.

How do you use CBC products?

You take gummies, candies and tinctures by mouth. Give them time, because it can take up to thirty minutes to feel the effects. If your product also contains Delta 9 THC, start low, go slow, and wait before you take more.

How is CBC different from CBD and CBG?

All three occur naturally in the cannabis plant, and none of them binds well with the CB1 receptor, so they have little to no psychoactive effect. Each one interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system a little differently. CBD is the best known and the most studied. CBC is far less familiar, even though it's counted among the "big six" cannabinoids and is used regularly in research. You'll find products here that combine them.

What does the research say about CBC?

Research on CBC is ongoing, and what's been published so far isn't extensive enough to be conclusive. We'd rather point you to the sources than make promises, so if you like reading the science yourself, start with this study, this one, a third on PubMed and this journal paper.
