CBDA is non-psychoactive compound and is a precursor to CBD. This means that CBD can be obtained from CBDA by decarboxylation (by heating). It interacts with serotonin receptors to provide relief from nausea as well as anxiety and depression conditions. 

The Fundamental Psychoactive Component

Delta-9 THC is what causes the eurphoric high experienced and widely associated with cannabis consumption. THC also interacts with receptors in the brain to affect sleep health and pain management positively.

Chow420 always features a robust Full Spectrum  selection. Especially potent for THC focus, are the flowers, oils and tinctures. These are quick intake methods for those looking for a mild and controlled TC effect with their CBD.

CBG has been known to improve sleep health and inhibit cancer cell growth. CBG has also been found to have potent anti-microbial function and to aid the bone growth process. Importantly, CBG is not psychotropic, hence it can be used within a normal daily routine.

You can find different formats with CBG content on Chow420. Topicals for analgesic effect, flower and gummies for antidepressant aid and sleep health are just some examples. Enjoy ! 

Delta-8 THC is structurally different from Delta-9 THC and is also less potent. However, it is capable of delivering a euphoric high of its own. Delta-8 THC can also serve purposes in stress relief and focus improvement. By action with specific receptors, it resembles the functioning of Delta-9 THC. 

Delta-8 options have been hugely popular in the CBD market.  Chow420 allows you to shop the best quality Delta-8 for your needs. 

This is an isomeric hydrocarbon that helps plants defend themselves in their natual habitats. Ocimene naturally occurs in a diverse array of plants including basil, peppers, mint, orchids and even mangoes. It is a natural antiseptic with herbal properties that can serve antiviral and antibacterial function.

Terpinene constitutes an antioxidant component in tea tree oil which is used as an antifungal agent. Thus, any benefit of tea tree oil may bear a passive connection to terpinene, which is a natural constituent. 

Similar to alpha-pinene, it is plentiful within pine trees, but can also be found in other plants. The main strengths of beta-pinene are its anti-inflammatory properties and its respiratory function of improving airflow in respiratory airways.

This is the only terpene that binds with CB2 receptors. This means that it has a direct impact on the modulation of anti-inflammatory activity.

Like the name suggests, alpha-pinene is abundant in pine trees. Pinene is present in orange peels, basil, parsley and hemp. The utility of alpha-pinene includes: anti-inflammatory action, respiratory function and the reduction of memory loss.

Patients suffering from arthritis, Crohn's disease and cancer can also find use in alpha-pinene.

Also known as cineole, eucalyptol is the primary terpene found in the eucalyptus tree. Eucalyptol is characterized by its cool and minty aromatic tones. 

Spicy Flavored Terpene

Caryophyllene can be found in oregano, basil and rosemary. It is also present in cinnamon, black pepper and cloves. In the form of beta-caryophyllene, this terpene binds to CB-2 receptors, making it useful for anti-inflammatory purposes. Most especially within topicals and creams.

Recent studies have also highlighted the efficacy of caryophyllene in assisting with alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Hemp-based strains are CBD-dominant. With CBD dominant strains, users experience fewer psychoactive effects. However, some CBD dominant strains also contain significant amounts of THC that may lead to an entourage effect. The entourage effect is the interaction between phytocannabinoids and terpenes. Research shows that CBD+THC creates the entourage effect, which is more effective than taking CBD or THC alone.
