What Is CBDP?
It was 2019 when THCP and CBDP initially broke onto the world-wide scene emanating from an Italian research team. This research first claimed potency levels far higher than THC and CBD.
Although most research has been done on THCP, it can confidently be said that it has helped the cannabis world maneuver the potential effects and benefits of CBDP. So far, research is discovering promising results: relaxation, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-seizure properties that can help a whole spectrum of people better their lives.
What Is CBT?
First isolated in 1974 from Lebanese hashish, CBT is a phytocannabinoid that has made its mark in the cannabis world since slowly becoming more popularized.
Initial reports suggest that CBT is great for combating neurological issues and mental health problems by alleviating the stress caused by anxiety, reducing painful thoughts brought on by depression, and kicking insomnia to the curb.
What Is CBC?
CBC (cannabichromene) has long been considered one of the “big six” cannabinoids that have been thoroughly researched over the years (and by years, we mean decades: it was discovered over 50 years ago). Just like THC and CBD, CBC stems from cannabigerol acid (CBGA).
Like the other cannabinoids we’ve mentioned throughout this article, CBC is non-psychoactive and won’t give you the high that THC does because it doesn’t entirely bind to the CB1 receptors in your brain but doesn’t sleep on its benefits. When consumed, it activates other receptors and increases the release of the body’s natural endocannabinoids and anandamide.
It has been shown to help relieve cancer symptoms, block pain and inflammation, aid the neurological system, suppress pesky acne, and bring peace to our friends battling depression.
What's The Difference?
Effects
CBDP: relaxation, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-seizure properties.
CBT: relief for anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
CBC: relief of cancer symptoms, pain-blocking, anti-inflammatory, and neurological benefits.
Potency
CBDP: THCP is said to be up to 30 times stronger than regular THC, leading us to believe that the same can be applied to the non-psychoactive CBDP.
CBT: we can’t say for sure how potent it is, but studies suggest it’s similar to CBD.
CBC: similar to CBD, but with the entourage effect can be more potent and bring its benefits to the forefront.
