THCV, or in its full name Tetrahydrocannabivarin, is a psychoactive cannabinoid found mostly in sativa strains of cannabis. It is similar to THC, but also different from it. Users report that its use causes a feeling of euphoria, motivation, alertness and an invigorating feeling. Suitable mainly for daytime use. It is considered a stress reliever. According to preliminary studies, it appears that THCV has the potential to help during panic and anxiety attacks and maybe even prevent them. Researchers estimate that it can be used as a structural shield to deal with diseases such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and even epilepsy. There are researchers who identify the ability to prevent anxiety attacks with the ability to have a positive effect on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition, it is claimed that THCV can be an appetite suppressant, regulate diabetes symptoms, and help with bone growth.
The accepted consumption of THCV is mainly through vaporization (boiling point at 220 degrees Celsius, which is considered high compared to the vaporization of other cannabinoids) or regular smoking. In the world market there are Vape Carts of various types, some offer only THCV and some offer combinations of THCV with THC and/or CBD. Prices range from 20$ to 50$ per vape cartridge.
