PL Cannabinoid index · Plant-made
Phytocannabinoids are the cannabinoids the cannabis plant itself makes — over 120 identified, and every one is built from a single precursor, CBGA, then sorted by enzymes into a handful of structural families. This index lists them by family, with each one’s formula, whether it intoxicates, what it is made from, and how much is actually known. Bold-linked names have a full evidence page.
| Cannabinoid | Intoxicating? | Formula | Precursor / from | Decarbs to | Known for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CBG-type — the parent line | |||||
| Cannabigerol (CBG) | No | C21H32O2 | CBGA | – | Neutral ‘mother’ form; antibacterial and appetite interest |
| Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) | No | C22H32O4 | GPP + olivetolic acid | CBG | The mother cannabinoid; parent to THCA, CBDA, CBCA |
| Cannabigerovarin (CBGV) | No | C19H28O2 | CBGVA | – | Propyl analog of CBG |
| Cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA) | No | C20H28O4 | – | CBGV | Propyl acid; parent of the varin line |
| Cannabigerol monomethyl ether (CBGM) | No | C22H34O2 | – | – | Methyl ether variant; Asian chemotypes |
| THC-type | |||||
| Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) | Yes | C21H30O2 | THCA | – | Principal intoxicant of cannabis |
| Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (D8-THC) | Mild | C21H30O2 | – | – | Milder THC isomer; mostly converted from CBD |

| Other / rare | |||||
| Cannabicitran (CBT-C) | No | C21H30O2 | – | – | Rare cyclised cannabinoid |
“Intoxicating” means it causes a high — not the same as psychoactive. CBD is psychoactive (it affects mood) but non-intoxicating. Most phytocannabinoids are non-intoxicating; THC is the main exception.
