Phytocannabinoids are the cannabinoids the cannabis plant itself makes — over 120 identified, and every one is built from a single precursor,…

THCVA (tetrahydrocannabivarinic acid) is the raw acid that decarboxylates into THCV, the propyl analog of THC. It is a minor, low-abundance cannabinoid…

CBGA (cannabigerolic acid) is the "mother cannabinoid" — the single acid the cannabis plant builds first, from which nearly every other cannabinoid…

CBDV (cannabidivarin) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that is, chemically, CBD with a shorter side chain — a propyl (3-carbon) tail instead of…
