The core of Chow420

CBD is a multi-faceted compound known for its anti-inflamatory, sleep health, neuroprotective and antimicrobial properties. Research on CBD is plentiful and hints towards even more gains from CBD consumption.

Everything Chow420 does is for CBD. Across different extracts, CBD is a constant component for almost all listings. The founding goal of Chow420 was to establish a base for customers to buy the purest CBD safely and securely.

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 ! 

Non-Intoxicating Pain Relief

CBC interacts rather weakly with the brain's CB1 receptors, and as such it is not able to cause inebriation or psychoactivity. On the other hand, it binds strongly with the vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) and the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) (both of which are important in the perception of pain) to trigger the release of the pain-relieving anandamide endocannabinoid.

At Chow420, we have taken care to provide both broad and full spectrum products across all consumption formats with CBC. Understanding the challenge of pain management, our goal is to ensure that customers have the allowance to select their preferred options.

Cannabinol

Known for relieving pain, antibacterial, appetite booster, and a sedative. CBN is a breakdown product of THC. This is why older flower products will tend to have more CBN, especially when not properly stored. With time and exposure to oxygen, THC gradually breaks down into CBN.

CBN has been observed to result in greater sedation when combined with THC, and may also have anticonvulsant (anti-seizure), anti-inflammatory, and antibiotic properties. However, this is another example of understudied plant cannabinoid, and more work needs to be done before we can be confident in its precise effects.
 

Characterized by a floral theme, linalool is also found in lavender, mint, coriander and cinnamon. Considerable research has been conducted on the antioxidant and antimicrobial effect of linalool as a terpene.The use of linalool has been found to provide relief to people dealing with conditions varying from arthritis, depression, insomnia and seizures.

Alpha-bisabolol is defined by a pleasant chamomile-scented floral theme. Initially mostly used in cosmetics, it has also gained relevance in medical research. Alpha-bisabolol has been demonstrated to treat bacterial infections and wounds. Alpha-Bisabolol is also a great antioxidant with anti-irritation and pain-relief properties.

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 entourage effect. Entourage effect is the interaction between phytocannabinoids and terpenes. Research shows that CBD+THC creates the entourage effect, which is more effective than take CBD or THC alone.
