Minor Cannabinoids can work miracles for anyone, whether they’re amping up for a crazy weekend or enjoying a cozy night in. That being said, we’ve just made it through National Introverts Week. For introverts, social settings and busy environments can feel overwhelming. Introverts often need to find ways to coach themselves through social events, and not to mention, finding ways to recharge and relax are equally essential.
In the past, many have referred to alcohol or nicotine as social lubricants. Sometimes, people can even turn to harder, more addictive substances in order to calm the nerves of social settings, but are left with addictive tendencies. That being said, cannabis may provide the perfect tool to navigate all these issues. While THC and CBD are well-known, lesser-known cannabinoids like CBN, CBG, and CBC offer unique benefits that cater perfectly to introverts seeking peace and calm.
What Are Minor Cannabinoids?
Minor cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds in cannabis that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system. Unlike THC, they are often non-intoxicating but still provide therapeutic benefits.
The most prominent example is CBD, also known as cannabidiol. It’s the most popular and widely recognized minor cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD and other minor cannabinoids are non-intoxicating, meaning they don’t produce the “high” associated with cannabis use. The popularity of CBD and other cannabinoids has surged due to potential wellness benefits.
CBD itself has gained attention for its potential therapeutic properties. Research suggests that it may promote enhanced mood and is promising in showing anti-depressive effects. Studies also indicate that CBD may offer anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea (in animal models), and anti-cancer benefits by inhibiting abnormal cell growth. Furthermore, CBD is being explored as a potential treatment for epilepsy, adding to its growing list of promising uses.
Other minor cannabinoids include (but are not limited to… No seriously, there are 120 and counting!):
- CBN: Known for its sedative properties, CBN is ideal for nighttime relaxation or deep rest.Similar to CBD, it may also prove to have anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory effects. When it comes to CBN, think REST, REST, and more REST!
- CBG: Often described as “the mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG is linked to calm focus and mental clarity. Studies show that it promotes mood elevation and relaxation, which may prove to be therapeutic utility in psychiatric disorders Added bonus? CBG may even aid in digestive issues!
- CBC: This cannabinoid shows promise in improving mood and reducing anxiety.CBC promotes mental focus and clarity. Studies also show that CBC may posses anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. It does, however, contain a sort of “THC uptake enhancing effect.” More simply put, CBC increases the amount of THC that is absorbed into the brain.
