This is the forerunner to the three major branches of cannabinoids: tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), and cannabichromene acid (CBCA). The plant has inherent enzymes called synthases, that cripple the CBGA down and form it toward the desired branch. Through the testing of industrial hemp, Cannabigerol (CBG) has been found in much higher levels than most strains of cannabis. Later studies show that these higher levels may be due to an inactive gene that keeps the plant from constructing one of the cannabinoid synthases (which transforms CBGA to one of the major branches). The benefits that conclude from Cannabigerol (CBG) include the reduction of inflammation, slows down bacterial expansion, and inhibits growth in tumor/cancer …show more content…
Often called the “stem cell” of cannabinoids, it is the precursor to THC, CBD, and CBC. In particular this Cannabinoid is normally overlooked, but has shown that it can be very beneficial to treating cancer. According to Halent Labs, it is believed to reduce inflammation and pain. Cannabichromene have anti-proliferative effects, meaning it inhibits the growth of cancerous tumors.(Drake Dorm) Even though this cannabinoid is found in small amounts, it shouldn’t be overlooked with its medical benefits. The third major Cannabinoid is Cannabidiols (CBD), which is a key ingredient in cannabis today. CBD and Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) are normally present in the highest concentrations, and are therefore the most recognized and studied. But CBD differs from THC with actually reducing the negative effects that THC has. CBD lessens the potent effects of THC, such as memory impairment and paranoia. This Cannabinoid produces an astounding amount of medical benefits containing anticonsulvant, antipsychotic, and anti-tumor/ anti-cancer properties.(British Journal of Clinical
