CANNABINOIDS
Maximum Yield Cannabis is distributed direct to retailers , dispensaries , and LPs .
Cannabinoids are the family of chemical compounds within cannabis that can have an effect on the human body . The human body has cannabinoid receptors that help these compounds produce a variety of pharmacological effects including : pain relief , euphoria , anti-nausea , reduction of muscle spasticity , anxiety , and appetite . Cannabinoids have also been shown to have analgesic properties .
There are between 85 and 113 known and suspected cannabinoids present in cannabis , each having various effects on the body . Cannabinoids are separated by various subclasses , including cannabigerols ( CBGs ), cannabichromenes ( CBCs ), cannabidiols ( CBDs ), tetrahydrocannabinols ( THCs ), cannabinol ( CBN ), cannabinodiol ( CBDL ), cannabicyclol ( CBL ), cannabielsoin ( CBE ), cannabitriol ( CBT ), and other types in small amounts .
Cannabinoids are susceptible to heat and oxidation causing synthesis into other compounds , altering their properties and effects . For example , temperature has the ability to cause THCA to decarboxylate and become THC ( which is highly psychoactive ), but heat and light can then cause THC to degrade to CBN over time . Proper drying and curing can ensure high levels of particular targeted compounds .
