The star that fell into oblivion has lit up the sky again
Star cannabichromene, which also goes by the name CBC, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. It was discovered in 1966 and was most extensively studied by researchers in the 1980s. However, space expeditions then focused on research into the cannabinoids THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).
But the growing interest in the cannabis cosmos is now motivating journeys deeper into space and a more thorough exploration of hitherto overlooked stars, planets and galaxies. These expeditions are bringing with them new insights into the effects of these substances that could be revolutionary for recreational use and medicine.
The production of CBC is not much different from how sibling stars THC and CBD are created. It starts with the enzymatic action of CBCA synthase on CBGA (cannabigerol acid) to produce CBCA (cannabichromenic acid), which is then decarboxylated.
This means that the carboxyl group in the form of CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is removed by heat applied to the dried and crushed cannabis. This converts the inactive acidic form of cannabinoids (CBCA) into their active form (CBC).
The otherworldly effects of the CBC
A galactic discovery is the unique ability of CBD to positively affect bowel motility without adverse effects. This discovery could be crucial in the development of new medicines for both terrestrials and extraterrestrials suffering from various gastrointestinal ailments.
Other unique properties of cannabichromene include its substantial antibacterial and antifungal properties. CBC could thus shine not only in the field of medicine and caring cosmetics, but also in household cleaning.
Like its sister star CBD, CBC has antidepressant and analgesic effects. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, especially when it encounters THC during space travel.
Other properties of CBCs include the ability to promote neurogenesis and improve the viability of neural stem cells (NSPCs). These are non-specialised cells, but they can change into astroglial cells through the differentiation process. They are important for maintaining an optimal internal environment in the brain and body despite changes in the external environment, such as changes in temperature or acidity and alkalinity.
They have a key function in reducing oxidative stress, i.e. in defending nerve cells against free radicals that damage them and are thus a potential cause of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
This implies that the positive effect of CBC on the generation and viability of neural stem cells and hence astroglial cells could potentially be effective in the prevention and treatment of these diseases.
Is CBC safe?
Cannabichromene is generally perceived as safe and side effects are rare. These most commonly include fatigue and dry mouth. However, space explorers who are taking medication or have health complications should consult a physician about taking CBC.
The CBC research is still at the beginning. But studies suggest a bright future.
CBC in constellations with other cannabinoids
Although CBC and its star siblings THC and CBD and other cannabinoids come from the same original compound, CBGA, and are extracted from it in similar ways, they have different effects. They differ in the number and arrangement of their carbon atoms and functional groups and interact with different receptors.
Previous space expeditions have not yet yielded complete knowledge of exactly how CBC reacts in the body of Earthlings, but current research shows that it interacts mainly with TRPA1 receptors, which affect pain perception, and partly with CB2 receptors, which affect immunity.
CBC vs CBD
Although CBC has so far received less interest than CBD, it is proving to be an equivalent cannabinoid with significant effects.
unique features of the CBC:
- antimicrobial effects
- positive effect on bowel motility without side effects
specific advantages of CBD:
- antidepressant and antipsychotic potential
- ability to lower blood sugar levels
- influence on the proper function of the immune system and metabolism
- relief from nausea and vomiting
CBC and THC
When CBC and THC meet in the sky, there is a complete explosion of effects. CBC slows down the breakdown of THC in the body, giving it a chance to work longer and stronger. The constellation of CBC and THC is the astrological sign of anti-inflammatory effects, pain relief and neuroprotection.
CBC and CBG
CBG, like CBC and CBD, is non-psychoactive and has antidepressant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and positive effects on the formation and vitality of nerve cells.
CBG and CBC shine together in the fight against bacteria and fungi. On top of that, research suggests that CBG appears to be effective for urinary tract problems, glaucoma, and even cancer. The constellation of CBC and CBG represents a wide range of healing effects accompanied by synergistic effects.
CBC product range
Due to the still unexplored reaches of the cannabis universe and the lack of knowledge about its stars, planets and galaxies, the range of new cannabinoids is still limited. However, it is to be expected that with growing interest and ongoing research expeditions, the CBC will be better understood and the range of products will expand.
For their terrestrial and cosmic expeditions, adventurers can use the effects of CBC in the form of isolates, oils and vapes. A wider range of CBC tablets, capsules and gummies are also available.
- CBC isolate will be appreciated by travelers who require flexibility in dosing and want a pure form of cannabinoid without adulterants.
- CBC oil is a suitable choice for both earthlings and aliens who want to take cannabichromene safely and comfortably in order to achieve a stable and long-lasting effect.
- Vapes excel in their rapid onset of effects and are an ideal alternative to cigarettes.
CBC is currently popular in constellation with other star cannabinoids in broad-spectrum and full-spectrum products. It is often combined, for example, with CBG.
Conclusion
The star of the CBC, cannabichromene, is a non-psychoactive substance derived from the cannabis plant. Research into the cannabis universe to date has shown that it stands out primarily for its positive effect on bowel motility without side effects and its antimicrobial properties. It also has antidepressant, analgesic and neuroprotective effects.
The properties of CBC can be tested through isolates, oils and vapes, or in the form of tablets, capsules and gummies.
Although the current findings of explorers suggest that a bright future awaits the awakened star, further galactic expeditions are needed to fully understand how kanabichromene works and to expand the product range.
