Cannabis never fails to amaze me. Really, just when I think I know all there is about the amazing natural benefits, I hear another thing that wows me. Today, we’re talking about the entourage effect. I’ve always known CBD and THC to enhance the benefits of things mixed with (coffee/caffeine, honey, lip balm, the list goes on and on), but I had never really dove into the benefits of mixing THC and CBD. In doing some more research, I discovered the entourage effect, which shows the synergistic effect CBD and THC have resulted in even more wellness than straight CBD or THC. Color me intrigued! The Science of the Entourage Effect To be honest, I rarely understand the science behind all these things. If they work, they work! But the entourage effect is pretty simple to understand. More generally speaking, the entourage effect is the basic idea that two or more substances can mutually benefit and enhance each other’s effects. In our case, CBD and THC are both cannabinoids and […]

CBD vs CBDA: Which cannabinoid is right for me?

CBD vs CBDA

Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidiol acid (CBDA) are cannabinoids found in cannabis. Both CBD and CBDA have been shown to have therapeutic effects, but they do different things. CBD is more popular than CBDA because it is easier to produce, and there is more evidence of its benefits. However, CBDA may be more effective than CBD in some cases. Learn more about the differences between CBD and CBDA here. What Is CBDA? CBDA is the chemical precursor to CBD. Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), commonly known as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” precedes CBDA by a few milliseconds. At this point, plant enzymes specific to each cannabis strain transform CBGA into one of three different cannabinoid precursor compounds: tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA). After CBDA is produced, it undergoes thermal decarboxylation to become CBD, which is then converted into CBD by the action of heat on the molecule. If the plant material is left to sit at room temperature and allowed to degrade slowly, this decarboxylation method can […]

The CBD landscape has been changing so fast over the few years it has been around. Remember, CBD is in its infancy here, and infancy is a big time for change! One of the recent trends in CBD is the “plus”. You might see gummies advertised as: CBD + CBDN. Or how about these ones? “CBD + Delta 9 THC”. Or “CBD + Delta 8 THC”. The desire for THC added into CBD products is clear and understandable. But its important for us to know exactly what’s in the products we’re consuming. So what is Delta 9 THC? What is Delta 8 THC? Is one preferable to the other? Let’s take a look. What Is Delta 9 THC? Delta 9 THC is the naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant which is most responsible for the plant’s euphoric, psychoactive effects. Often in the past we have simply shortened this term to just THC, but as science digs further and further into the cannabis plant, we are cataloguing and redefining […]
