Best Alternate Cannabinoids To Try in 2023!

New Year, New Me, right? Wrong. How’s about New Year, New Cannabinoid? With Christmas in the rear view mirror, we are speeding into 2023 at full throttle. But lets take a moment, step off the gas, and slow down because there are some new cannabinoids available on the vaping market segment. If you have been living under a rock, let us explain. From the cannabis or hemp plant, there are over 100 kinds of cannabinoids, or chemical compounds. Now the main ones, Delta-9 THC and CBD are pretty well known. However, after the 2018 Farm Bill, the market has exploded with a flurry of new cannabinoids like THCV, THC-B, and Delta-11. With the emergence of so many different cannabinoids, it's easy to get lost amongst the acronyms and their alleged effects. That's why we are here to help you understand and see if these cannabinoids are something that would interest or could potentially help you.

First, we have THCV. THCV, or tetrahydrocannabivarin, was first discovered in 1973, but was largely left unstudied as the natural occurrence within the hemp plant was meager in comparison to THC or CBD. After the 2018 Farm Bill, many people within the cannabis industry began looking at aspects of THC and its analogues that could be altered to fit within the new legal boundaries set forth. This gave THCV and a host of other cannabinoids a shot at the limelight that once pre-occupied THC and CBD.

THCV, dubbed diet weed or weederall, is a fairly new cannabinoid that has hit the scene. With anecdotal evidence and reviews from other users, some people claim that THCV is a wonderful new cannabinoid, while others say it does nothing for them. However, for those that have tried THCV, it has been stated anecdotally, that it helps curb appetite. In animal trials, it works by acting as an antagonist for the CB1 receptors, the same receptors that Delta-9 THC stimulates to cause the munchies. This can lead to potential reduction in appetite urges, cravings, and more but requires more studies for adoption to humans.

One THCV vape that we carry is the Binoid THCV + Delta-8 Cartridge. Featuring 1 blended gram of delta-8, THC-V, and terpenes, this disposable cartridge offers a simple and easy way to include THC-V into your general wellness routine. The slim and portable form factor makes it a great companion piece, following you through life and everything it can throw at you.

The next cannabinoid in the spotlight is Delta-10. A close cousin to Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC, Delta-10 has been compared to sativas in anecdotal reports, stimulating users creativity, uplifting the spirits without as much paranoia or anxiety. Found in trace amounts within cannabis and hemp, delta-10 has likely been around us longer than we have known, with many of us cannabis or hemp connoisseurs consuming it without knowing. Most delta-10 on the market is created via chemistry, using CBD isolate, as this is the most cost-effective way to create delta-10, currently. Comparable to sativas, delta-10 can help with creativity, writer's block,  The lower potential for paranoia and anxiety is a godsend, as many of us that have tried cannabis or hemp know about the anxious feels of dread due to excessive consumption. However, this is anecdotal evidence and cannabinoids affect each person differently due to unique body composition, and unique endocannabinoid system. But with this evidence, although anecdotal, is trending in the right direction for this new and legal cannabinoid.

The Dimo Delta-10 Cartridge features a 1 gram fill of delta-10 cannabinoids with a ceramic coil to create dense flavorful clouds of vapor without affecting the taste. With added terpenes, the Dimo Delta-10 Cartridge is amazing in its vapor production, unrivaled by its many competitors. The simple use and construction mean that the Dimo Delta-10 Cartridge can easily be fitted onto a 510 vape pen for the uninitiated, making it easy to include delta-10 in your daily regimen.

The last new cannabinoid we will cover is HHC. HHC, or Hexahydrocannabinol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid within the cannabis or hemp plants, however, just like the previous cannabinoids, HHC is present in trace amounts. This led chemists to see if it could be created from similar chemical structures. Chemists have learned that they can take CBD and manufacture HHC by introducing a hydrogen atom, similar to the process of creating margarine from vegetable oil. This hydrogenated process creates both active and inactive HHC molecules, with the active ones binding effectively to the body’s endocannabinoid system. This does have intoxicating effects, but has allegedly been used to help reduce inflammation, relieve anxiety, and aid in improving sleep. One interesting fact about HHC is that it is incredibly shelf stable, resistant to heat and UV exposure.

HHC’s potency has been said to sit between the strength of delta-8 and delta-9 THC. If you are new to HHC, go slow and follow directions on the packaging. One great HHC product we carry is the Tre House HHC Gummies. Packed with 25mg HHC per gummy, these sweet treats are perfect for those looking to try out HHC. With vegan and gluten free ingredients, these gummies are sure to be ideal if dietary restrictions are present. With legitimate COAs available for these gummies, you know that you are getting quality tested products from Tre House.
