THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)

THCV is considered a minor cannabinoid, but it is gaining popularity as research is getting more interested in isolated cannabinoids. These studies are showing the potential for THCV in obesity, as it can curb your appetite. As always, please consult your doctor prior to starting a cannabis regimen.  They don’t have to like it, as long as it’s safe for you, but they do have to respect your freedom of choice when it comes to your own healthcare.
