02 / Definition
What is CBC?
CBC (cannabichromene) is a lesser-known, non-intoxicating cannabinoid that, like other cannabinoids, originates from CBGA in the plant. It is typically present in small quantities and is one of the compounds thought to contribute to the entourage effect in full-spectrum products. Research into CBC is still early and ongoing.
