The Mysteries of the "Racecar" Cannabinoid THCV

The Mysteries of the "Racecar" Cannabinoid THCV At the Weizmann Scientific Institute in Rehovot, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam and his colleagues Yehiel Gaoni and Haviv Edery discovered and isolated the plant's first cannabinoid, THC, in 1964. THCV Bulk, often known as the "racing car," is one of them. It is a cannabinoid that is very interesting but less well-known than others, such as THC and CBD, the two most quoted and explored in recent years.

Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) has a chemical structure comparable to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and similar intoxicating characteristics. However, THCV Bulk differs from its related cannabinoid in several ways, making it a unique component and likely the next target of research and therapy generated from the plant. This "racing car" provides a high that is far more potent than strains of cannabis containing other cannabinoids. The sensations are psychedelic in nature, but the user stays conscious. And, while the pleasure is faster and more intense, it is also more ephemeral than with a THC-rich plant. Plants with higher levels of tetrahydrocannabinol provide highs that are more gradual and last longer, similar to a cannabis marathon. Everything about the THCV, on the other hand, is intense and rapid - hence its nickname, referring to a sports automobile.
