Scientific Knowledge of Cannabinoids
When you drink a cannabis beverage, eat an edible, or smoke a joint, the changes in how your mind and body feel are largely a result of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are compounds found in or derived from the cannabis plant that interact with the human endocannabinoid system.
As mentioned in a previous article, endocannabinoids are like cannabinoids but made by your body. Your endocannabinoids bind to your endocannabinoid receptors to signal when your mind and body need to maintain homeostasis. Cannabinoids, like endocannabinoids, are thought to influence your endocannabinoid system and thus your mind-body sense of homeostasis. Notably, different cannabinoids do different things. Cannabinoids like THC have psychoactive effects, whereas cannabinoids like CBD work more on the body.
Green Revolution recognizes these differing capabilities of cannabinoids. Green Revolution’s 4 experiences: Fly, Elevate, Chill, and Relief feature different cannabinoids in different ratios to modulate and deliver the exact experience desired by the user. Read on to discover more about the cannabinoids in your favorite Green Revolution products.
Scientific Knowledge of Cannabinoids
Although humans have had a relationship with cannabis for literally thousands of years, only recently have many of the cannabinoids featured on dispensary shelves been discovered by scientists. Even the most widely known cannabinoids: THC and CBD, were discovered in 1964 and 1940 respectively. In reality, cannabinoids have only been known scientifically to humans in the last 100 years.
Lesser-Known Cannabinoids
Beyond THC, CBD, CBN, and CBG are many more cannabinoids that aren’t as widely known or researched. For example, THCV is a cannabinoid that was only discovered, but is thought to be like THC but less psychoactive and with appetite suppressant properties. Imagine if society knew all the applications of every cannabinoid!
Clearly much is still to be discovered about cannabinoids of the powerful and important cannabis plant. That is part of why Green Revolution creates its products—to enable you to discover for yourself the power of diverse cannabinoids and nuanced experiences.
