Cannabichromene (CBC)

cannabichromene cbc

Also called cannabichrome, cannanbichromene, pentylcannabichromene or cannabinochromene, is one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant, and is therefore a phytocannabinoid.

CBC has anti-inflammatory properties – can reduce edema (swelling) as well as inflammation of the intestinal tract. CBC appears to fight inflammation without activating cannabinoid receptors, CBC produces a stronger effect when combined with other cannabinoids. It also reduces pain, although it is not as strong as THC, but when used together can be synergistic.
