CBC Edibles

CBC edibles offer the powerful effects of cannabichromene in edible form, for long-lasting effects that can get you through the day or night. Cannabichromene, aka CBC, is a naturally occurring, nonintoxicating cannabinoid in the hemp plant that works on unique receptors related to pain and inflammation, and may potentiate the effects of other cannabinoids, which is why you so commonly see it in combination with other cannabinoids found in hemp.

CBC edibles allow for easy, straightforward dosing, and the ones that we carry are made by the most trusted names in the industry, having undergone extensive third-party testing for total quality assurance.

What is Cannabichromene (CBC)?

Cannabichromene (CBC) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. It's one of over 100 different cannabinoids identified in the plant. CBC is derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) in the cannabis plant, which is also a precursor to THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids.

Is CBC Psychoactive?

No, CBC is not psychoactive like THC. It does not produce a "high" when consumed.

Does CBC Interact with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?

Yes, CBC does interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex system of receptors, enzymes, and endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) that play roles in a variety of physiological processes including mood, memory, appetite, pain sensation, and immune function. The primary receptors in the ECS are CB1 and CB2 receptors. While THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is known for its direct interaction with the CB1 receptors, resulting in psychoactive effects, CBC doesn't strongly bind to these receptors. Instead, CBC is thought to exert its effects through other mechanisms within the ECS and possibly other biological systems.

Beyond the Endocannabinoid System What Other Receptor Targets Does CBC Reach?

CBC can reach TRPV1 and TRPA1 ion channels. These receptors are involved in pain perception.

Does CBC Provide the Entourage Effect?

Some researchers believe that all the compounds in cannabis (cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids) can work together synergistically, producing an "entourage effect." This means the combined effect of the cannabis compounds can be greater than the sum of their individual effects. In this context, CBC may enhance the overall therapeutic effects of cannabis when combined with other cannabinoids and compounds..

Can I Get CBC from Hemp-Derived CBD Products?

Yes, CBC can be found in trace amounts in some hemp-derived CBD products, but it's typically more abundant in full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD products.

How is CBC Extracted from Cannabis?

CBC can be extracted from cannabis using various methods, including CO2 extraction and ethanol extraction.

Is CBC Legal?

Here in the United States, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, CBC is a federally legal cannabinoid.

Does CBC Have Any Potential Benefits?

Some studies suggest that CBC may have analgesic properties and could potentially be used for pain management, although more research is needed. Preliminary research suggests that CBC may have potential as an anti-anxiety and antidepressant compound, but more studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness. Also, some studies have explored the potential of CBC as an anti-cancer agent, particularly in combination with other cannabinoids. However, more research is needed in this area, too.

Does CBC Have Any Potential Side Effects?

While CBC is considered safe, there is limited research on its side effects. Some people may experience mild side effects, such as dry mouth or dizziness.

Can I find CBC in Non-Cannabis Sources?

While CBC is primarily found in cannabis, it is not typically present in significant amounts in other plant sources.

How Much CBC Should I Consume Daily?

How much CBC you should consume each day depends on your tolerance, your daily needs and your personal preferences. Most people find that anywhere from 10 to 40 milligrams daily gives them the results they desire, but the human body can tolerate higher dosage amounts as well. As a beginner, you should start with a dosage amount on the lower end, such as 5 to 10 milligrams, to see how CBD makes you feel.

How Can I Consume CBC?

CBC can be consumed through various methods, including smoking or vaporizing cannabis strains with high CBC content, using CBC-rich cannabis extracts or tinctures, or incorporating CBC into edibles or topicals.

Can I Take More Than One CBC Product in a Day?

You can take more than one CBC product in a day. Many people do, in fact, take multiple CBC products in one day, such as taking a gummy in the morning and a tincture at night. Dosage amount, milligram strength and timing of each dose all play a role in how the products will interact with one another, but generally speaking, doubling up on CBC is totally fine.

Does CBC Work Right Away?

A lot of people notice that they feel more at ease after the very first time they take CBC. But, most people find that after about 2 weeks of daily use, the full effects of the compound really start to kick in. This is because CBC works cumulatively, building up in the body through consistent use.

Can I Take CBC if I’m on Any Medications?

If you’re taking any medications, it is best to speak with your doctor first, since they’ve access to your medical history, and can therefore make a proper determination if taking CBC is alright to do.
