CBGA (Cannabigerolic Acid)

 "The stem cell of cannabis"

Cannabigerolic acid is one of the many phytocannabinoids within the cannabis plant. Many phytocannabinoids  have acidic precursors.

To recap really quickly,  these acidic precursors  
turn into a subsequent cannabinoid through a process known as decarboxylation.  


Decarboxylation happens through various forms of heat application and is a fancy science word for when something loses a molecule of carbon dioxide. This heat application can include solar heat or directly applied heat as with cooking or smoking.  

But what makes cannabigerolic acid (CBGa) so special? Is it not just another acidic precursor? Aside from being a precursor for cannabigerol, it is also the precursor for a handful of other acidic precursors including THCA, CBDA and CBCA. It is crucial in creating common cannabinoids like CBC and THC. This is why some cannabis enthusiasts refer to it as the “stem cell” of cannabis, given its transformative nature.

CBN (Cannabinol)

Cannabinol (CBN) is a cannabinoid found in the Cannabis sativa plant, so it is part of the phytocannabinoids family, just like cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

As its name suggests, CBN is related to THC, the compound being in fact a metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol. This means that cannabinol is obtained from THC, through a process that involves both natural and special treatments.

Unlike other cannabinoids, CBN does not stem directly from cannabigerol (CBG) or cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), but rather is the degraded product of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA).If cannabis is exposed to air or ultraviolet light (for example, in sunlight) for a prolonged period of time, THCA will convert to cannabinolic acid (CBNA). CBN is then formed by decarboxylation of CBNA.

“Thanks To Cannabis Ava Is Pharma-Free.”

Vera Twomey is the mother of Ava, a little girl who developed Dravet’s Syndrome at four months old. For the first seven years of her life, Ava suffered up to 400 seizures a month until 2016 when Vera turned to cannabis for help. That decision changed their lives. Today, Ava is “pharma-free.”

-Ava’s Story: A Sick Child Saved by Cannabis

Nine years ago, Ava Barry was born a happy healthy baby girl, but at around four months she began to have seizures. Her terrified parents immediately brought her to their local hospital in Cork, south of Ireland, where the doctors began the process of trying to figure out what was wrong while simultaneously prescribing a mix of liquid medications to control the seizures, which could last up to 45 minutes.

"The Use of Cannabis in Ancient Greece"

In Greek language, the word euphoria means “having health,” a state of well-being.

In ancient Greece the euphoric qualities of cannabis, far from being an unwholesome side effect, are deeply implicated with the word 'Euphoria' and with the therapeutic value of the plant.

Cannabis has a long history dating as far back as the ancient era. In Greece, references to cannabis have been traced back since 450 BC after the introduction of the weeds by the Scythians. Since its introduction, the ancient Greeks had given the weed various names including dear cannabis, rope twister and little star.

The cultivation of cannabis in ancient Greece was popular in the Peloponnese region. The first reference of this was accounted by historian Pausanias in 200 BC. The crops were described to have grown around Elis, an area in the western Peloponnese. However, wild cannabis plants were also seen growing around hedges, paths and borders during the ancient times.

"How Long Does CBD Stay In Your System"???

Actually the method of taking CBD and the content it determines the length of time it would stay in our system.Some other determinant factors are body system, weight and most importantly, the activeness of your endocannabinoid system. 

As we know, CBD can be taken through inhalation (vaping/smoking), sublingually (under the tongue), oral (capsule, edibles) or topically (balm/ointment/creams) on the outer part of the skin. 

So actually each method has its own duration of action and maintenance in our body and self and this is what we are going to find out...

Inhalation

Inhalation is also known as vaping. It is considered the easiest and the most popular way to consume CBD. It is a method that relaxes the body and acts fast when inhaled. Many people enjoy vape oil through the use of vaporizer (Vape pen). The bioavailability of inhalation is high oxygen which pierces through the bloodstream directly.
