At Yeti Canna, we are committed to educating our customers so they can make informed decisions about their cannabis consumption. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a first-time user, understanding the different cannabinoids and their effects can enhance your experience. In this post, we’ll dive into the major cannabinoids and explore what each brings to the table

Cannabis is rich in over 100 different cannabinoids, but a few are particularly important when it comes to their effects on your body. The most well-known cannabinoids are THC and CBD, but there are others that also contribute to the plant’s effects, such as CBN, CBC and CBG

THC – The Psychoactive Hero

THC is the most famous cannabinoid, primarily known for its psychoactive effects, or the “high” that users experience. It binds to the CB1 receptors in the brain, influencing mood, memory, appetite, and motor control. THC is often what people are after when looking for the classic cannabis experience.

The Calm and Healing Cannabinoid

While most of the major cannabinoid’s aid with inflammation and pain, CBD is the heavy lifter. It interacts with receptors in the body which are primarily located in the immune system.  This allows it to have a beneficial effect on almost any health concern.  It can help with the body’s ability to regulate both blood pressure and blood sugar levels, aids with skin and gut health, and promotes mental wellbeing.  CBD’s effectiveness is significantly enhanced when paired with THC.  Tailoring the amount of THC that is paired with CBD allows you to customize your experience and get the full potential of the duo.  CBD is present in many THC products to help keep the user comfortable in both mind and body.

 The Sleep-Inducing Cannabinoid

CBN is the “good night sleep” cannabinoid.  On its own it acts as a mild sedative similar to melatonin but when paired with THC is where it really shines.  The synergizing duo is going to help calm your mind, relax your body and have you ready for a restful sleep. CBN is helpful for those not only with sleep disorders but it has also been shown to lessen body spasms, aid in gut health and mental well-being, and aid in pain relief.

CBC – The Pain Blaster and Mood Boosting Cannabinoid

CBC has anti-inflammatory properties and may help with conditions like acne, pain, and depression. Research suggests that CBC could help protect nerve cells and promote brain health, offering benefits for conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.  It has a calming effect without the heavy sedation that is present in other cannabinoids. You can typically find CBC in products intended to give the user a serene calm that is perfect for social situations and those struggling with mental and physical health.

CBG – The Attitude Adjusting Cannabinoid

CBG is one of the newest cannabinoids to hit the market and is known for its powerful mood boosting capabilities.  You can expect to feel both relaxed and focused, making it increasingly popular for daytime use.  Like CBD, it has anti-inflammatory properties, which could make it helpful for conditions like arthritis or gut health issues. CBG may have neuroprotective qualities, potentially aiding brain health and offering benefits for conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Furthermore, CBG has been shown to stimulate appetite, which could be beneficial for individuals experiencing appetite loss or related conditions.
