Of the 120 cannabinoid constituents found in the cannabis plant, only two of them have had much attention. This is largely due to their abundance and ease of extraction. About a dozen other so-called minor phytocannabinoids are beginning to be researched and have revealed some of this interesting pharmacology.
What are the other cannabinoid constituents that you are aware of?
I could list about a dozen that are of interest, but a good example is Cannabigerol, with a reasonable body of research building on its anti inflammatory and anti-cancer potential. It is also nonpyschoactive like Cannabidiol and, similarly, has some complex pharmacology. It is much less abundant in the plant, but we need to find out more about it, and others, such as cannabidivarin, cannabigerivarin and their acid forms. These compounds display some interesting binding characteristics at the cannabinoid receptors, which may subtly modulate how they signal. I find it fascinating!
