What Exactly is THCV Isolate? The Advantages and Disadvantages THCV Isolate, or tetrahydrocannabivarin, is a biphasic cannabinoid, which means it has one effect at low doses and another at higher doses. However, this minor cannabinoid has made headlines in recent years, and it also has a slew of unique medicinal benefits, the most interesting of which has earned it the moniker "Skinny Weed." But why is that?

What Exactly is THCV? The Effects and Benefits of THCV According to Biomed Central's Journal of Cannabis Research, "THCV Isolate decreases appetite, increases satiety, and up-regulates energy metabolism, making it a clinically useful remedy for weight loss and management of obesity and type 2 diabetic patients." THCV is also thought to suppress appetite, as opposed to the classic THC "munchies" or appetite stimulating effect. It is produced in the cannabis trichomes, which are glandular hairs found on the plant's surface. The CB1 receptors (one of the most studied cannabinoid receptors in the body) in your endocannbinoid system are thought to be blocked by THCV. One human study discovered that high doses of THCV naturally blocked the CB1 receptor, reducing appetite without the negative side effects associated with synthetic CB1/appetite suppressors.
