Question of the Day !!! Does cannabichromene have anti-inflammatory and other therapeutic properties? Cannabichromene (CBC) was first discovered in 1966. It is typically found in significant quantities in freshly harvested, dry cannabis. To date, cannabichromene has not been subject to rigorous study; fewer than 75 published papers available on PubMed make specific reference to cannabichromene. According to a 2009 review entitled “Non-psychotropic plant cannabinoids: new therapeutic opportunities from an ancient herb” by Izzo et al., “CBC exerts anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and modest analgesic activity.” CBC has also been shown to promote anti-cancer activity in malignant cell lines and to possess bone-stimulating properties. More recently, a 2011 preclinical trial published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, reported that CBC influences nerve endings to modify sensations of pain. “[This] compound might represent [a] useful therapeutic agent with multiple mechanisms of action,” the study concluded.
