Cannabichromenenic acid (CBCA) is found in higher concentrations in young plants, which decreases with maturity, is produced by CBGA in raw cannabis plants. CBCA then goes on to produce other cannabinoids (CBC, CBL, and CBLA) when heated or aged. Like CBDA and THCA, CBCA is the parent cannabinoid of CBC.
The neutral form of CBCA, Cannabichromene (CBC) binds with receptors that are linked to pain perception and also increase levels of endocannabinoids like anandamide. Also CBCA maybe has anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties but more studies must to be proved and have safe results on this.
As we know, anti-inflammatories are great for treating systemic inflammation like arthritis, analgesics are helpful in treating various types of pain, and anti-microbial properties kill harmful microorganisms.
The CBC has shown potential in treating acne, diarrhea, inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, swelling, pain, depression, and as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent. One of CBC’s most interesting benefits is that it may actually promote the development of brain cells.
