The most abundant cannabinoid in hemp oil, making up over 90% of the cannabinoid content, cannabidiol or CBD is non-psychoactive and is the focus of the benefits from hemp oil. CBD has little affinity for CB1 or CB2 receptors, the main points of interaction for cannabinoids in the endocannabinoid system, and instead acts as an indirect antagonist of cannabinoid agonists, possibly allowing CBD to temper the high caused by THC. Our Gold Label RSHO™ is almost 25% CBD, making up most of oil’s weight. All other cannabinoids come in under 0.4% by weight.

Other forms present in our oil include:

• CBD-C1: Cannabidiol-C1
• CBD-C4: Cannabidiol-C4
• CBDA: Cannabidiolic Acid

Cannabigerol is known as the stem cell cannabinoid for its role as a precursor to other cannabinoids found in hemp and marijuana. Previously overlooked as a significant cannabinoid, the role of CBG is becoming better understood, and companies like Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s AXIM® Biotechnologies are starting to research its potential. Because most CBG is transformed into other cannabinoids like CBD or THC by the cannabis plant, natural CBG levels are low in most processed cannabis plants.

Other forms present in our oil include:

• CBGA: Cannabigerolic Acid

Tetrahydrocannabinol is the most abundant cannabinoid in most medical and recreational marijuana strains. However, in hemp THC is a minor constituent and appears only in trace amounts under 0.3% by dry weight, as required by the U.S. government for hemp products. THC mimics the action of anandamide, a neurotransmitter naturally produced in the human body, and binds to CB1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system found mostly in the brain. The extremely low levels of THC in hemp make hemp oil non-psychoactive and safe for all ages to use.

Other forms present in our oil (in minor amounts) include:

• THCA-A: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid A
• THCA-C1: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiorcolic Acid
• THCA-C4: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid C4
• THCA-B: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid B
• THC-C1: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiorcol
• THC-C4: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol C4
• iso-THC: iso-Tetrahydrocannabinol

Cannabinol results from the degradation of THC. There is little of it in the fresh plant, but decarboxylation often raises the amount of CBN in the plant as an effect. CBN is only mildly psychoactive and has a higher affinity for the CB2 receptor than the CB1 receptor, linking CBN to the body’s immune system. In hemp oil, CBN is present in levels of 0.2% or lower.

Other forms present in our oil include:

• CBN-C1: Cannabiorcol
• CBN-C2: Cannabinol-C2
• CBN-C4: Cannabinol-C4
• CBND: Cannabinodiol

Along with the primary cannabinoids and their variants, there are a number of minor cannabinoids whose benefits have not yet been thoroughly studied. Even in low quantities, these cannabinoids interact with our native endocannabinoid system, and are present in our hemp oil.

• CBC: Cannabichromene
• CBL: Cannabicyclol
• CBT: Cannabitriol
• CBE: Cannabielsoin
• CBR: Cannabiripsol
• DCBF: Dehydrocannabifuran
• CBF: Cannabifuran
• CBCN: Cannabichromanon
• CBT: Cannabicitran

Like THCA and CBDA, there are other pre-decarboxylated forms of cannabinoids present in cannabis. Once exposed to heat, light, or alkaline conditions, these cannabinoids lose a carbon atom and take their common form. These cannabinoids are present in our raw forms of oil that have not been decarboxylated.

• CBCA: Cannabichromenic Acid
• CBLA: Cannabicyclolic Acid
• CBEA-A: Cannabielsoic Acid A
• CBEA-B: Cannabielsoic Acid B
• CBNA: Cannabinolic Acid

These cannabinoids differ in length from common cannabinoids, replacing the typical 5 carbon chain with a 3 carbon chain.  These cannabinoids can also be found in small amounts in our full-spectrum hemp oil.

• CBV: Cannabivarin
• THCV: Tetrahydrocannabivarin
• CBDV: Cannabidivarin
• CBCV: Cannabichomevarin
• CBGV: Cannabigerovarin
• CBLV:Cannabicyclovarin
• CBVD: Cannabinodivarin
• CBTV: Cannabitriolvarin

These cannabinoids differ in length from common cannabinoids, replacing the typical 5 carbon chain with a 3 carbon chain.  These cannabinoids can also be found in small amounts in our full-spectrum hemp oil.

• CBGVA: Cannabigerovarinic Acid
• THCVA: Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabivarinic Acid
• CBDVA: Cannabidivarinic Acid
• CBCVA: Cannabichromevarinic Acid

• CBGAM: Cannabigerolic Acid Monomethyl Ether
• CBGM: Cannabigerol Monomethyl Ether
• CBDM: Cannabidiol Monomethyl Ether
