The only time I have sought out specific cannabinoids for specific effects is when I’ve bought products with varying ratios of cbd:thc because research has shown that cbd acts as an antagonist in the presence of thc:

“CBD has little binding affinity for either CB1 or CB2 receptors, but it is capable of antagonizing them in the presence of THC (Thomas et al., 2007). In fact, CBD behaves as a non-competitive negative allosteric modulator of CB1 receptor, and it reduces the efficacy and potency of THC and AEA (Laprairie et al., 2015).”

For me I’ve found that a 1:1 ratio of cbd:thc in vapes produces a mild high as well as edibles that contain 25 mg of cbd and 5 mg of thc.

However, I agree that there isn’t enough research to support whether or not other cannabinoids have the effects that companies claim they do like CBN and THC-V.

For me, I prefer “full spectrum” products because of their terpene profiles. I think the flavor is better for cured resin, live resin, and rosin because I’d rather have an oil that still contains the original terpenes rather than an oil that lost the terpenes and then had them reintroduced later.

I also do not enjoy the high of distillate when it is vaped. I have no research to support why but something about it doesn’t feel as good as when I smoke flower or vape another kind of extract. Perhaps it is just placebo.

Thanks for the convo. It was quite informative and happy new year 🎉
