THCB, or Tetrahydrocannabutol, is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the cannabis plant, although only in low amounts. It is a minor cannabinoid, similar to THCH, for example. Minor cannabinoids are those that are present in small amounts in cannabis plants, as opposed to the major cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, which are present in larger amounts in cannabis plants.
It is reported that THCB was researched by the American chemist Roger Adams as early as 1942. In 2019, a study emerged that was backed by an Italian team of scientists. It mentions that they found a special cannabinoid called butyl phytocannabinoid in CBD samples derived from hemp and a variety of medical cannabis.
Because THCB is found in the cannabis plant in really low concentrations. This makes it almost impossible for manufacturers to extract this compound directly from the cannabis plant. Therefore, the majority of THCB products are currently made from other, more readily available cannabinoids, such as CBD. This means that THCB products are made synthetically and are not extracted from the cannabis plant. The basis for this claim refers to the aforementioned 2019 study by an Italian team of scientists.
Does THCB have similar effects to THC?
A study by Italian scientists suggests that THCB shows more activity at CB1 receptors than THC, i.e. it has stronger psychoactive effects. Other studies suggest that THCB has promising anti-inflammatory properties and helps to relieve pain-related sensations. THCB could have potential antidepressant effects, similar to anxiety, where THCB helps to reduce anxiety.
Like most cannabinoids, THCB can also positively affect perception and mood, euphoria, more energy and creativity. It can also help with pain and make us feel relaxed and at ease.
Possible side effects?
Psychoactive substances have a natural risk of side effects. For cannabinoids, these side effects are similar, sometimes even identical. The most common are red eyes, dry mouth, memory problems, and increased appetite. In excessive amounts, one may experience anxiety or paranoia. Therefore, it is important to follow the recommended dosage according to your individual tolerance to avoid side effects as much as possible and to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
