What is THC-B?

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid B (THC-B) is a minor cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. Like its more well-known counterparts, such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9 THC) and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THC-A), THC-B is part of the diverse family of compounds produced by cannabis. However, THC-B is unique in its chemical structure and potential effects. THC-B is typically found in raw cannabis plants and can be extracted and isolated for various uses. It is available in different forms, such as tinctures, capsules, and extracts. While not much is known about its specific therapeutic benefits, it is believed to interact with the endocannabinoid system in unique ways, which could lead to potential medicinal applications.

Some users are interested in THC-B for its potential non-psychoactive properties, similar to THC-A. This means that consuming THC-B in its raw form might not produce the high associated with delta-9 THC, making it appealing for those seeking the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects.
