Anyone who has spent any time around marijuana knows that there are two main cannabinoids that regular smokers seek. THC, the cannabinoid known for getting you high and making you giggle or sleepy depending on the strain; and CBD, the cannabinoid primarily used for medicinal purposes. However, more people are becoming aware of a new cannabinoid known as THCV Isolate. So, what exactly is this compound that may be contributing to your high? And what are the potential advantages of THCV?
WHAT EXACTLY IS THCV?
THCV Isolate, also known as tetrahydrocannabivarin, is a marijuana compound that is very similar to THC. It's often described as the THC molecule with the end clipped off to make it easier to understand. It would be THC if only a few more atoms were added. It inhibits the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body. That is, it works against them and behaves very differently than its cousin, THC. Which can interact with CBD to produce a variety of effects.
This is great news for those who want to smoke but don't want the high that THC provides. While THCV can cause a high, it must be taken in much higher doses to do so. It will not provide any of the psychoactive effects that THC will in lower doses. Even if it does mimic THC's effects, they will fade much faster than THC would.
So, why would anyone want to look for this substance? Because there are numerous advantages to doing so.
WHAT ARE THE THCV Isolate BENEFITS?
This compound, which is very similar to THC, is still being studied. As a result, all of the potential benefits of THCV Wholesale are unknown. What has been established is that THCV does not appear to provide the traditional munchies associated with smoking or consuming marijuana. As a result, strains high in THCV are ideal for weight loss.
This was most recently demonstrated in a mouse study. Mice were given the compound and their behaviour was observed to see how it affected them. They were then compared to mice who had not been given the compound. The mice who consumed THCV Wholesale ate significantly less and lost weight as a result.
A third group of mice was also studied, and these mice had been starved, so they were truly hungry. While these mice ate the same amount as before, indicating that the cannabinoid did not completely suppress hunger, it is unlikely that anyone would get the munchies after using it. They simply will not be enticed by the enhanced sense of smell that makes food smell better. They were also less likely to report increased enjoyment from simply eating food after a good toke.
This indicates that those looking for strains for weight loss should seriously consider a high THCV Wholesale strain. However, there is a word of caution, as with many other strains used to treat ailments and conditions. It has been shown to suppress appetite; however, using it can be quite dangerous for those suffering from conditions such as anorexia.
We've learned about the benefits of THCV, but which THCV Wholesale strains are best for weight loss and high in this cannabinoid?
