Exploring the Role of THCP, THCV, and THCA in Mushroom and CBD Edibles

THCP (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiphorol), THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin), and THCA (tetrahydrocannabinol acid) are all compounds called cannabinoids that grow on a cannabis plant. THCP is a rare compound that grows in tiny amounts and is most commonly consumed by smoking, vaping, or in edibles. It has a high potency that can be felt by the user pretty quickly. THCA is found in raw cannabis plants. When it's heated, it turns into THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is what gives users that euphoric, relaxed, hungry, and high feeling they experience. THCV grows in small amounts on some strains of cannabis, particularly those of African origin. Like THC, THCV can make users feel more energetic; however, the experience can be milder, and the person is less likely to become so hungry.

Before we look at the role of these compounds in mushroom and CBD edibles, let's explore their properties some more.

THCP:

• It's often used by people to manage severe and chronic pain where other treatments have offered them little to no relief.
• THC and THCP can relieve nausea that cancer patients may experience as a result of chemotherapy treatment.
• It's often taken as a remedy for anxiety and depressive episodes.
• THCP might give recreational users a more intense buzz that THC doesn't.

THCA:

• It can help medical cannabis patients get some relief from the symptoms of arthritis or autoimmune diseases because it might help to reduce inflammation or swelling.
• It could potentially help delay the effects of degenerative brain conditions, including Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's disease.
• It can help protect cells from damage and reduce the risk of users developing chronic diseases.
• It won't cause any cognitive issues because it doesn't give users a high like THCP, THC, and, to a lesser extent, THCV.
• It comes in a variety of different forms, including edibles and pre-rolls, so users can choose how they would prefer to consume it.

THCV:

• It can help users lose weight by suppressing their appetite.
• It could aid cognitive alertness and stamina.
• It could help alleviate negative feelings and support the wellbeing of people who don't want to feel an intense high.
• It might help balance blood sugar levels and promote a healthier metabolic rate.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, as it's best known, comes from cannabis, but contrary to popular belief, it doesn't cause a person to feel high or a buzz. It's usually made into an oil after being extracted from the cannabis plant and diluted with hemp seed or coconut oils. It's the second most active cannabinoid after THC. The benefits of CBD include:

• Pain relief: The body's endocannabinoid system is responsible for creating pain sensations. If someone isn't able to feel pain, they may not realize they're in some kind of danger, and they could damage their skin and nerves if they burn themselves, for example. It's thought that CBD might help reduce pain sensations for people suffering from it regularly if they have a chronic condition such as fibromyalgia, for instance. It works by reducing painful inflammation and sending signals to the brain to soothe the sensations.
• Alleviation of cancer symptoms: Some people who are undergoing chemotherapy radiation have said it's helped them feel less unwell after a treatment session.
• Heart protection: It's been thought that CBD might have a positive effect on how the heart contracts, and it could help widen the blood vessels to improve circulation and blood pressure.
• Better mood: Even though it doesn't give users a high like THC, it's been associated with a reduction in anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.

What About Side Effects?

Like with any prescribed or natural medicines, everyone has a different level of tolerance and reaction to them depending on existing conditions, weight, lifestyle, and many other relevant factors. It's always best to seek medical advice before taking mushroom and CBD edibles if you're unsure you'll be able to handle the effects. Common side effects of cannabinoids include, but are not limited to:

• Paranoia: if you're a beginner or you have a different reaction to normal, you might get scared rather than relaxed. It's best practice to start with a small dose and then increase it if you feel that you can handle it.
• Dry mouth: THC might change the consistency and composition of saliva and leave you feeling parched.
• Drowsiness: THC can act as a sedative, and you may begin to feel sleepy. You may be better off taking mushroom and CBD edibles before bed if you've been struggling to regulate your sleeping pattern and want to catch some much-needed sleep.
