I was wondering if anyone has any experience with growing (or having tested) a strain that is particularly high in THCV, which has CB1 antagonist effects. Its my understanding that this particular cannabinoid and others like it may have beneficial implications for a range of disorders, specifically diabetes, insulin resistance, and metabolic issues.
A soy flavonoid made it in a journal article regarding cannabis recently, genistein’s CB1 antagonistic effect is supposed to reduce negative effects of THC on the heart. Thus, it made me wonder what other CB1 antagonists would also offer a protective effect.
I read Durban Poison was one strain that tended to have more THCV.
