    Leafly has strain Fingerprints - I know what THC is and I understand (a little) CBD. But are there others for someone who is really curious should look into? and where can I find an explanation of what they are?


    For instance - I care mostly about getting a buzz - should I care about CBD? I've smoked for 45+ years and am now fascinated with what I have been smoking!






     
  2. I think thc is the psychoactive compound. So I would think if you wanna get 'high' you'd go for a higher % thc.
     
  3. Found it


    THC (∆9-Tetrahydrocannabinol)
    Strongly psychoactive (induces a euphoric high)
    Most cannabis strains are bred to contain a high THC content while other cannabinoids occur only in trace amounts
    Demonstrates promise in treating pain, nausea, sleep and stress disorders, and appetite loss
    Can cause anxiety and paranoia in some individuals
    Boiling point: 315 °F (157 °C)

    THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)
    Strongly psychoactive (induces a euphoric high)
    More strongly psychoactive than THC, but duration of effects is about half as long
    Typically occurs in only trace amounts in cannabis
    Pronounced energetic effects
    Found to effectively counter anxiety, stress, and panic disorders without suppressing emotion
    Reduces tremors associated with Alzheimer"s, Parkinson"s, and other neurological disorders
    Diminishes appetite
    Stimulates bone growth

    CBD (Cannabidiol)
    Non-psychoactive (does not induce a euphoric high)
    Counteracts psychoactivity of THC
    Calming effect helpful for those treating anxiety and sleep loss
    Lowers blood sugar
    Demonstrates promise in treating pain, multiple sclerosis, inflammation, stress disorders, and epilepsy
    Boiling point: 356 °F (180 °C)

    CBDV (Cannabidivarin)
    Non-psychoactive (does not induce a euphoric high)
    Demonstrates promise in treating seizures

    CBG (Cannabigerol)
    Non-psychoactive (does not induce a euphoric high)
    Typically occurs in only trace amounts in cannabis
    Found to stimulate brain cell and bone growth
    Demonstrates promise as an anti-bacterial and anti-insomnia medicine

    CBC (Cannabichromene)
    Non-psychoactive (does not induce a euphoric high)
    Typically occurs in only trace amounts in cannabis
    Found to be about 10 times more effective than CBD in treating anxiety and stress
    Anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties
    Stimulates bone growth
    Boiling point: 428 °F (220 °C)

    CBN (Cannabinol)
    Mildly to non-psychoactive (does not induce a euphoric high)
    Typically occurs in only trace amounts in cannabis
    Occurs as a result of THC degradation
    Most sedating of all the cannabinoids
    Demonstrates promise in treating insomnia, glaucoma, and pain
    Boiling point: 365 °F (185 °C)
     
  4. One thing to note is that CBD counteracts THC
