THCV
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)
THCV is a less common cannabinoid, which occurs only in a few cannabis species. The only structural difference between THCV and THC is the presence of a propyl (3 carbon) group, rather than a pentyl (5 carbon) group, on the molecule. Though this variation may seem subtle, it causes THCV to produce very different effects than THC. These effects may include a reduction in panic attacks, suppression of appetite, and the promotion of bone growth.
