Active Compounds

• Cannabinoids

• Cannabigerol (CBG)

  Cannabigerol is called the mother cannabinoid because its acid form CBGA gives rise to the precursors of THC, CBD and CBC – and what that means for content, harvest timing and breeding.

• Cannabinol (CBN)

  Cannabinol forms when THC oxidises and serves as a marker for age and poor storage – while decarboxylation itself, run without oxygen, produces almost none of it.

• Terpenes

• Myrcene (β-Myrcene)

  β-Myrcene is often the most abundant terpene in cannabis. What preclinical research says about GABA, pain and the entourage debate – hedged and sourced.

• Farnesene

  Farnesene in cannabis: the green-apple sesquiterpene (C15H24), aphid alarm pheromone and terpene rarity. Aroma, botanical function, research status and a lab-documented case study.

• Interaction

• Entourage Effect

  The cannabis entourage effect explained: what studies show about cannabinoid–terpene interaction, what remains disputed, and what has largely been ruled out at the receptor level – a source-based overview.

• Full Spectrum and Isolate

  Full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate explained: what the three terms describe, how they differ, and why 'full spectrum' is not a scientifically defined term.
