Every now and then, scientists discover new exciting compounds in the Cannabis plant. That was the case of CBDV, a remarkable cannabinoid with several benefits different from the common THC and CBD. Ever since CBD started to gain popularity, growers began to take a look at CBDV. In this article, we want to introduce you to the best CBDV strains you can find on the market to experience hemp at a whole new level. Are you ready? Keep reading. Thanks for stopping by. Why not give something from our garden a try?

What is CBDV

Although Vollner et al. identified CBDV in 1969, it took researchers more than 40 years to pay attention to what this cannabinoid can do. Cannabidivarin is non-intoxicating and similar in structure to CBD; hence, you will find this cannabinoid in high CBD and low THC strains. However, it is hard to get significant levels of CBDV in regular commercial strains. CBDV comes mostly from landrace strains from India, Pakistan, and Mexico, often indica type. Thus, you may get some more Cannabidivarin in the background if you buy these types of buds. Landrace means that the plant developed in its natural habitat and was not crossbred with other plants of the same species. For instance, strains like Royal Medic, Dance World, and Medical Mass are strains high in CBDV.

CBDV Benefits

Just like any other cannabinoid, CBDV interacts with the endocannabinoid system. However, it impacts our body differently from THC and CBD. While these cannabinoids exert their effects by interacting with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, CBDV shows its effects through the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a channel in the central and peripheral nervous system. This receptor plays a part in pain transmission and modulation. For this reason, CBDV is a great way to treat chronic pain. Although it is a newcomer to medical research, many laboratories are already looking forward to working with Cannabidivarin. For instance, GW Pharmaceuticals has shown great interest in using CBDV for medical uses and has even gone so far as to start clinical trials. As a result, this pharmaceutical giant obtains a patent for the use of CBDV in epilepsy drugs. CBDV has undergone plenty of research despite its recent re-discovery, allowing scientists to explore the many benefits it provides to our health. We have listed some of the most relevant CBDV benefits and some of the conditions it can treat here:

Autism
Epilepsy
Rett syndrome
Neuropathic pain
Nausea
Increased appetite
Muscular dystrophy
Restore muscle function
Mood disorders
Chronic dry skin
Acne

As you can see, most of the benefits of CBDV are related to clinical conditions that CBD cannot effectively treat on its own. Moreover, Cannabidivarin hasn’t shown any toxicity signals, and even at its highest tested dose, the body can tolerate it without receiving any intoxicating effects. Due to these numerous benefits and their gentle nature, high CBDV strains are safe for child consumption. Many pharmaceuticals are currently developing Cannabidivarin drugs that can fall under the ‘orphan designation,’ a status given to medicines that can treat rare diseases.

CBD vs CBDV

CBD and CBDV are somewhat intertwined, for both have a similar chemical structure and are common cannabinoids that researchers are making the fuss about. However, the fact that CBDV has only 4 carbon atoms instead of 5 totally changes its nature. Researches first discovered and heavily studied CBD than CBDV. Thus, we know it treats conditions like nausea and vomiting, Parkinson's Disease, inflammation, cancer, chronic and neuropathic pain, OCD lupus, anxiety, and more. On the contrary, CBDV is only in its initial studies, and it is best known for treating epilepsy and seizures. However, the way it binds to our body is different from CBD, making it a great compound to treat pain and other inflammatory ailments.

Strains High in CBDV

So now that you know the basics, how can you consume CBDV? Thus far, breeding houses have only begun to develop CBDV seeds, but its promising results are making tongues wag among cannabis growers and users. We mentioned before that you could find strains high in CBDV if they are landrace varieties from Africa and Asia.
