CBGA (Cannabigerolic Acid)
Characteristics: Non-psychoactive; precursor to CBG, THC, and CBD.
Purpose: Potential anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefits.
Cannabinoids:
Definition: Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in cannabis that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system.
Examples: The most well-known cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which produces the psychoactive “high,” and CBD (cannabidiol), known for its potential therapeutic effects without intoxication.
Function: Cannabinoids affect mood, pain, inflammation, and other bodily functions by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and body.
