CBC is considered one of the “big six” cannabinoids prominent in cannabis research. CBC has the same origins as THC and CBD. They all stem from CBGa. Cannabis plants produce CBGa, the precursor to other major cannabinoids including THCa, CBDa, and CBCa. These are cannabinoids with an acidic tail. With heat, the molecules transform into THC, CBD, and CBC.

Every person can experience different effects with hemp products but some have found this molecule to offer some relaxing effects. This can be similar to the uplifting effects some feel with CBG! Some believe that CBC works synergistically with other cannabinoids in a phenomenon known as the entourage effect. It’s well-known that CBD and THC enhance each other’s power, but how other cannabinoids play into the entourage effect is not fully understood.  However, the purported benefits of CBC have far-reaching implications.

CBC can be consumed through various methods. It is commonly found in full-spectrum CBD products, which can be taken orally as tinctures, capsules, topicals, or edibles. 

Everyone's body chemistries are different and this may lead to different felt effects of CBC over time. We recommend taking the same dose for 1-2 weeks and observing the effects. If you do not feel the results you are looking for, increase the dose amount or frequency of dose to determine what works best for you.

As of now, there is limited information available on potential side effects specific to CBC. However, since CBC is generally well-tolerated, it is believed to have a favorable safety profile. It's important to note that individual responses to cannabinoids can vary, and it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using CBC or any other cannabinoid product.

Combining CBC with other cannabinoids or medications should be done with caution. While CBC is generally regarded as safe, it may interact with certain medications. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure there are no contraindications or adverse interactions based on your specific medical condition or medication regimen.

Yes, CBC can be used topically for skin discomfort and irritation. It has shown potential to provide relief, which may make it beneficial for skincare and addressing localized discomfort. CBC-infused topicals can be applied directly to the affected area.

The method by which you consume or administer cannabinoid products can affect their bioavailability, which is how much of a substance enters the bloodstream in a given amount of time.

For example, vaporizing or sublingual consumption are great ways to ingest cannabinoids, as they offer high bioavailability, meaning they will enter the bloodstream at a faster rate with short-lasting effects. On the other hand, oral consumption via capsules or edibles will enter the bloodstream at a slower rate with longer-lasting effects. Topicals offer the lowest bioavailability, as they are absorbed through the skin.

Understanding bioavailability can help you determine how much of a product you need to take, and in what form, to ensure a proper dose actually ends up in your system.

This term is used to describe the experience-based evidence where all of the components (cannabinoids, terpenes, etc.) in the plant work synergistically together in the body to create a balanced effect.
