They cause considerable suffering: chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s Disease (MC), Colitis Ulcerosa (CU) and some lesser-known forms are associated with unpleasant symptoms such as constant diarrhea, weight loss, severe abdominal pain and reduced performance. Although studies on the mechanism of action in the gastrointestinal tract are inconclusive, there is increasing evidence […]
There are over 100 different phytocannabinoids in the cannabis plant that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The best known is the psychotropic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), while cannabidiol (CBD) is the most common non-intoxicating cannabinoid. In addition, among the numerous phytocannabinoids, cannabichromene (CBC), cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinol (CBN) have important therapeutic effects. The chemical structure […]
When talking about the medicinal properties of the cannabis plant, most people think of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) first. But there are other cannabinoids with therapeutic benefits. Cannabigerol (CBG) is one of the 113 cannabinoids discovered so far – and it seems to have great potential. This is why the active substance is increasingly […]
Cannabinoids are the naturally occurring chemical compounds found in cannabis plants. Currently, there are over 180 classified cannabinoids, and perhaps more to be discovered as studies continue to reveal the complex molecular structures of cannabis. Today we want to talk about the medicinal benefits of Cannabichromene, also known as CBC. What are cannabinoids? Cannabinoids are […]
Flavonoids are components from any type of plant. They have been found to contain certain medicinal properties and are important to reach the “entourage effect” from medicinal cannabis products, which mean that the combination of both could enhance the beneficial effects. What are flavonoids? Flavonoids can be comprised of more than 10,000 structures and is […]
Cannabis is no longer just about therapeutics. It is a whole cannabis market with a bright future ahead. Cannabis, Hemp, Marijuana… What is what? Hemp and marijuana are two varieties of Cannabis sativa. In US law, the main differences lie in their chemical composition – they both contain cannabidiol (CBD) but hemp does not contain […]
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced months ago a different position on Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the active cannabinoid chemicals in the marijuana plant. Research has shown CBD to have a range of properties that may be therapeutically useful. In 2018, an update critical review report (carried out by the Expert Committee of Drug Dependence) […]
As already explained in many of our articles, cannabinoids are classes of chemical compounds acting on specific receptors in brain and body cells, that alter and/or regulate many physiological functions, modulating signals in the endocannabinoid system. Today we want to talk you about THCa and CBDa, two cannabinoid acids. Cannabinoids had been classified in endocannabinoids […]
40 years ago research began on the creation of synthetic cannabinoids to evluate their possible clinical use for diseases like multiple sclerosis and HIV/AIDS, as well as a palliative for people with cancer who are going through chemotherapy. The research was led by John Huffman and over the course of 20 years Huffman and his […]
The cannabis plant is made up of hundreds of components, known as cannbinoids, that each have their own therapeutic benefits. One of these components is tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, better known as THCA. It is the component of cannabis Sativa L, precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), one of the most abundant cannabinoids in the variety of cannabis plants. […]
