What is Cannbicycol (CBL)

CBL is another compound that’s minor in cannabis, so you’re not going to find it in huge amounts. Like CBN, and CBLA, the acid before it does decarboxylate into this, is something that’s also quite new to the world of cannabis. However, this is a degenerative part of THC, and it is something that’s degradative and a part of the Phyto cannabinoid called cannabicrhomene which is something that’s also a part of the cannabis plant. 

The heat, sunlight, and acids in the world around you do degrade CBC into the CBL compound. It’s something that’s not totally researched, but it may be similar in terms of anti-inflammatory results to CBD in that regard. It is not intoxicating, so you don’t have to worry about getting high with this. It also is not produced directly within the cannabis plant and is only found in trace amounts in both the hemp plant and the marijuana plant. 

This is something that is still not totally known, so we don’t know whether or not it will interact directly with the body. When you have cannabis which hasn’t gone through the decarboxylated process, cannabicicylol is something that’s acidic, and it’s called cananbicyclolic acid, or CBLA, and then, it’s a degrative product that comes from CBCD in a form which hasn’t decarbed yet.  It’s something that is not found directly produced within the plant but is a result of the degradation of the minor cannabinoids. 

The potential benefits and Uses 

There are few studies that are looking at the results of this in people. CBL however, has a structure that’s similar to CBN, but it doesn’t have the double-bond, which is what attributes CBN to the psychoactive results, and right now, there is not any evidence out there that says that CBL does interact with the CB1 and the CB2 receptors, and it’s something that doesn’t have the physiological effects, so it may not be psychoactive based on the research currently out there. 

The structure of this does mean that it might be anti-inflammatory, may be neurogenic, antibacterial, and also may be antiemetic in terms of properties that are out there. It also may help with sleep, aiding it too, and it’s something that’s barely found in the cannabis plant, and also may offer therapeutic results, via different terpene and other cannabinoid interactions within this. 

It also may possibly inhibit the uptake of anandamide, which is something that may help with the bloodstream and the brain, aiding in the aspects of booting your mood, and also working to manage different chronic pain that’s out there, so it does have the potential uses and benefits that go along with this too. 

Side effects 

Right now, there is almost no research on how this may affect people if you decide to use this. There also isn’t much to find or report on the studies that are there. But there was a study which was carried out back in 1976 that does show some adverse side effects, and if you give high amounts, it can cause seizures, and in this study, it did result in a rabbit’s death. 

However, because the study was so small, it didn’t offer any conclusion s which were firm enough that it may be something which cause problems in humans. 

It’s important to understand that if you want this, you want something high in CBC, so you should go for a strain that’s high in age, and something that’s been around of longer to get the CBL that you want from this, so bear that in mind when choosing a strain as well.
