The latest from of THC to make its way into adult use cannabis dispensaries is THCV and it is gaining steam for good reasons but probably not the reasons you expect. THCV isn’t about getting you high, it is about helping your overall health and wellbeing. So where did it come from and what does it do? RiverBluff Cannabis Roselle has the answers for you! So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about the latest in weed stuff.
What is THCV?
Like most “new” forms of THC, THCV is far from new. THCV was first studied by Roger Adams during his cannabis researching in the 1940s though he didn’t isolate or name the compound. It wouldn’t be named and isolated until 1970 when Edward Gill noticed it in a cannabis tincture at Oxford University. THCV is not psychoactive, so it isn’t going to aid your high but as cannabis research has continued to progress many compounds from the cannabis plant that are not psychoactive have shown promise in aiding all sorts of ailments and THCV is new shining star.
Can It Help with Weight Loss?
THCV is gaining popularity because of its effects on weight control. Unlike traditional psychoactive forms of THC that are known to increase appetite or the munchies to use the parlance of our times. THCV has been shown to decrease appetite in recent studies, helping to aid in weight loss. It is also currently being studied to be paired with metformin to possibly help control blood sugar to combat type 2 diabetes. Its promise as a weight loss supplement has brought it to the dance but it does even more!
What Else is It commonly Used For?
THCV is also becoming a handy helper for anyone who needs to get things done efficiently from college cramming to housekeeping to creative endeavors. In a double-blind clinical study THCV demonstrated motivating and energizing effects. THCV is great for when needing to learn new tasks and to stay on task.
