CBG cannabigerol
CBG is the result of CBGA going through decarboxylation. Like CBGA, CBG is rarely found in cannabis extracts because its acidic precursor is converted to other cannabinoids by enzymes in the plant before it can be extracted and decarboxylated.
CBC cannabichromene
CBC is one of the 3 primary cannabinoids of the cannabis plant. When CBGA, the root cannabinoid and precursor to all other cannabinoids, is created by the cannabis plant, enzymes in the plant will convert the CBGA into one of 3 major cannabinoid acids, THCA, CBDA and CBCA.
Terpenes, or Terpenoids
One thing many people notice about cannabis is the smell, which varies a lot from strain to strain. Contrary to popular belief the cannabinoids in cannabis, like THC, have no smell and the unique fragrance of various cannabis strains is actually dictated by the Terpenes.
CBN cannabinol
CBN is essentially degraded THC. Just as decarboxylation converts THCA to THC, by removing the Co2 molecule, THC will then oxidise or degrade to CBN, as it loses its hydrogen component. Both decarboxylation and oxidisation occur as a result of heat and time,
THCV tetrahydrocannabivarin
THCV is different from THC (and other well known cannabinoids, like CBD, CBC, CBN etc.) in the sense that it does not actually come from CBGA.
The cannabis plant combines geranyl pyrophosphate
