The complete library — chemical structure, receptor binding, effects, legal status, and how each fits into the entourage effect.

WHAT IS A CANNABINOID

Cannabinoids are a family of chemical compounds found primarily in the cannabis plant that interact with the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). The cannabis plant produces over 100 cannabinoids, the most well-known being THC (psychoactive) and CBD (non-psychoactive).

Cannabinoids are categorized as phytocannabinoids (plant-derived), endocannabinoids (produced by the human body, like anandamide), and synthetic cannabinoids(lab-made). Phytocannabinoids interact with the body’s CB1 and CB2 receptors — CB1 is concentrated in the brain and central nervous system, CB2 is concentrated in the immune system and peripheral tissues.

Different cannabinoids have different receptor affinities, which is why Δ9 THC produces a strong psychoactive high (high CB1 affinity) while CBD does not (CBD is a CB1 negative allosteric modulator). Below: the complete profile library.

Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid

THCa

THCa is the acid-form precursor to THC found in raw cannabis. Non-psychoactive until heated, when it decarboxylates to Δ9 THC.

Formula —: C₂₂H₃₀O₄
Class —: Acid Form
Psychoactive —: No (raw); Yes (after heat)

Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol

Δ9 THC

Δ9 THC is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis — produced when THCa is heated.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₀O₂
Class —: Major Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Yes — strongly

Δ8-Tetrahydrocannabinol

Δ8 THC

Δ8 THC is an isomer of Δ9 with similar but typically weaker psychoactive effects — clearer-headed, less anxiety-prone for many users.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₀O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Yes — moderate

Cannabidiol

CBD

CBD is the most-researched non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Used for anxiety, inflammation, sleep — without producing a high.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₀O₂
Class —: Major Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: No

Cannabigerol

CBG

CBG is the upstream precursor to most other cannabinoids. Non-psychoactive, with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial research interest.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₂O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: No

Cannabinol

CBN

CBN is the breakdown product of THC oxidation. Mildly psychoactive, strongly associated with sedation and sleep.

Formula —: C₂₁H₂₆O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Mildly (~10% of Δ9)

Cannabichromene

CBC

CBC is a non-psychoactive minor cannabinoid with anti-inflammatory and neurogenesis research interest.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₀O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: No

Tetrahydrocannabivarin

THCv

THCv is a minor cannabinoid associated with appetite suppression and energetic, clear-headed effects.

Formula —: C₁₉H₂₆O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Mild at high doses

Hexahydrocannabinol

HHC

HHC is a hydrogenated cannabinoid synthesized from hemp CBD or THC. Moderately psychoactive, exceptionally shelf-stable.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₂O₂
Class —: Synthetic / Hydrogenated
Psychoactive —: Yes (~80% of Δ9)

Tetrahydrocannabiphorol

THCp

THCp is a recently-discovered cannabinoid with up to 30× the CB1 binding affinity of Δ9 THC.

Formula —: C₂₃H₃₄O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Yes — extremely potent

Δ10-Tetrahydrocannabinol

Δ10 THC

Δ10 THC is a rare isomer of Δ9 with energetic, sativa-leaning effects. Synthesized from CBD, regulatorily contested.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₀O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Yes — moderate

THC-O-acetate

THC-O

THC-O is an acetate-modified THC with reportedly stronger psychoactive effects than Δ9. Synthesized from hemp CBD. Highly contested legality.

Formula —: C₂₃H₃₂O₃
Class —: Synthetic / Hydrogenated
Psychoactive —: Yes — strong (reported 2-3× Δ9)

Cannabidivarin

CBDV

CBDV is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid structurally similar to CBD with a shorter alkyl side chain. Research interest in epilepsy and autism.

Formula —: C₁₉H₂₆O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: No

11-Hydroxy-Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol

11-OH-THC

11-OH-THC is the primary liver metabolite of Δ9 THC. More potent than Δ9 itself — explains why edibles feel stronger than equivalent-dose smoking.

Formula —: C₂₁H₃₀O₃
Class —: Major Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Yes — stronger than Δ9

Tetrahydrocannabutol

THCb

THCb is a recently-discovered cannabinoid with a 4-carbon butyl side chain. Higher CB1 affinity than Δ9 — moderate research interest.

Formula —: C₂₀H₂₈O₂
Class —: Minor Phytocannabinoid
Psychoactive —: Yes — comparable to Δ9

THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT

Individual cannabinoids matter, but they don’t work in isolation. The entourage effect is the hypothesis that cannabinoids and terpenes work together synergistically, producing effects that differ from any single isolated compound.

This is why two cannabis strains with identical THC percentages can produce qualitatively different experiences. It’s why full-spectrum CBD products (CBD + minor cannabinoids + terpenes) are often reported as more effective than CBD isolate at equivalent doses. It’s why dabbing live rosin (full-spectrum) feels different than dabbing pure THCa diamonds (single-cannabinoid) at equivalent THC doses.
