Minor Cannabinoids: Small Compounds, Big Potential
THC and CBD may get all the attention, but did you know the cannabis plant produces over 100 other cannabinoids? These lesser-known compounds—called minor cannabinoids—may offer targeted benefits and are becoming the next big thing in cannabis wellness.
Here are a few worth knowing:
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)
- Nicknamed “the diet weed”
- May help suppress appetite
- Shows promise for blood sugar balance and focus
- Found in strains like Durban Poison and Pineapple Purps
CBC (Cannabichromene)
- Non-intoxicating
- Believed to support mood and brain function
- Works well in combination with CBD and THC
- Found in full-spectrum oils and select flower strains
CBG (Cannabigerol)
- Known as the "mother of all cannabinoids"
- May support focus, gut health, and inflammation relief
- Non-psychoactive and suitable for daytime use
- Found in tinctures, gummies, and blended wellness products
Why Minor Cannabinoids Matter
These cannabinoids often work best in full-spectrum products, where they interact with each other and terpenes to amplify effects naturally (hello, entourage effect!). As research continues, we’re learning more about how these small players can make a big difference in sleep, pain, mood, and beyond.
