What is THCV?

Tetrahydrocannabivarin or THCV is a fully legal cannabinoid that demonstrates activity similar to that of THC or CBD. It has been shown to have activity on both the CB1 and CB2 receptors. While it has been shown to act on the same receptors as THC, it is thought that the action is substantially different than that of THC. While there is some evidence that suggests that THCV may have intoxicating effects, these effects are less pronounced than the effects of THC.

While THCV can be found at higher concentrations in marijuana, THCV extracted from cannabis is not in a pure form and is still considered a controlled substance. In hemp, THCV is found at very low concentrations and is therefore difficult to obtain. Using the latest techniques in synthetic organic chemistry, we have been able to legally extract large quantities of this rare cannabinoid.

Recent studies on THCV have looked into the different potential applications of THCV. These studies have explored the medicinal properties of THCV in a number of different areas including as a drug used in the treatment of glucose insensitivity and as an appetite suppressant.

THCV or tetrahydrocannabivarin is a naturally occurring cannabinoid. Closely related to THC, it offers a similar chemical makeup. However, the small differences result in big variations in the way the body metabolizes and uses them. The lack of psychoactive effects in smaller doses certainly sets THCV apart. It has further shown promise in decreasing appetite and increasing energy levels. In higher doses, THCV produces a euphoric, clear-headed state.

THCV is not present in all strains of the marijuana plant. Colorado Chromatography ensures availability of the uniquely diverse properties at reasonable pricing. Our standards of quality add up to greater purity. Inspired by Nature, Driven by Science, we pioneer lab technology to effectively synthesize smaller quantity cannabinoids. Colorado Chromatography is a large-scale, raw ingredient producer, specializing in innovative solutions to rising demand.
