Effects and Origins of the Cannabinoids that Power Our Gummies
Cannabinoids(Canna·bin·oids)
Cannabinoids are a diverse class of chemical compounds that act on cannabinoid receptors in cells all throughout the body. They alter neurotransmitter release in the brain and affect a wide range of bodily processes including pain, memory, mood, appetite, and inflammation.
Cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant are classified as phytocannabinoids. To date, 113 phytocannabinoids have been identified. Among them, the best studied are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN).
The human body also produces its own cannabinoids. These are called endocannabinoids, short for endogenous cannabinoids, which means that they’re created inside the body. The two major endocannabinoids produced by the human body are Anandamide (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG).
Cannabinoids work hand in hand with terpenes to shape how each of our strain-specific gummies feels.
When exploring THC products, you'll encounter both natural and synthetic options. Natural Delta-9 THC, now commonly referred to as "D9", comes directly from the cannabis plant and is the most well-known and studied form. At Microdose, we exclusively use natural D9 THC extracted from organic hemp plants.
The term "D9" only emerged when synthetic alternatives like Delta-8, Delta-10, and THC-O entered the marketplace. These lab-created synthetics are less potent than natural THC and have a different molecular structure. While they may promise milder effects, these synthetic versions come with potential safety concerns due to unregulated production methods and unpredictable effects.
Whether it comes from high concentration marijuana plants or low concentration hemp plants, D9-THC is D9-THC. Regardless of source, it’s the same psychoactive compound known for its “high” and wellness benefits.
The only difference lies in concentration: hemp plants contain less than 0.3% THC (making it federally legal), while marijuana plants can contain 5-30% THC or more.
Psychoactive Cannabinoids provide the euphoria and the "high" that you experience from cannabis. They can also provide therapeutic benefits at low doses.
THC
"Delta-9," "D-9," and "∆-9-tetrahydrocannabinol" all refer to "THC," the chief psychoactive compound in cannabis. At medium to large doses, THC produces a euphoric “high”. At sub-psychoactive doses, THC can offer therapeutic benefits like pain and anxiety relief, muscle relaxation, and improved sleep.
Non-psychoactive cannabinoids deliver therapeutic benefits without the "high." They work alongside THC and terpenes to shape how each strain feels.
01.CBD
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the primary non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. Self-reports and scientific studies show that it can help with anxiety, insomnia, neuropathic pain and inflammation, and addiction. Its effectiveness as an anti-seizure treatment has prompted further scientific research into its other potential medical applications.
02.CBG
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found exclusively in young cannabis plants. It has shown potential therapeutic benefits in various areas, including inflammation, eye health, brain function, and appetite regulation. CBG works with other cannabinoids to balance effects and enhance therapeutic benefits.
03.CBN
Known as the “sleep cannabinoid,” Cannabinol (CBN) offers powerful sedative effects. Derived from oxidized THC, it is mildly psychoactive, but only at extremely large doses. Currently, it is most commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation and as a sleep aid.
04.CBC
Cannabichromene (CBC) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in juvenile cannabis plants. It can reduce pain and inflammation and appears to offer antidepressant-like effects. It also works with other cannabinoids to balance effects and enhance therapeutic benefits.
