What is THCV, and does THCV weight loss work?

You've probably heard of THC and CBD, but there's another active ingredient in hemp and cannabis that's becoming extremely popular: THCV. Often referred to as "diet weed" or the "race car of cannabinoids," many people are turning to it for increased energy and decreased appetite. But what is THCV, and what are THCV effects? Does THCV weight loss really work? Here, we'll delve into the history of this fascinating rare cannabinoid and take a look at scientific studies. We'll let you know where to buy the best THCV gummies and oils today and what to watch out for. 

What is THCV?

Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a minor cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants. This means that it occurs naturally, but in much smaller quantities. In fact, it was so rare that until very recently it could only be found in noticeable quantities in cannabis sativa plants found in Africa. There, locals use it help them work in the fields and stave off hunger. Just a few years ago, a European cannabis strain hunter died of malaria while searching for plants high in THCV along the Congo River.

Similar to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), THCV interacts with the endocannabinoid system, but THCV effects are very different.

What are THCV effects and benefits?

● THCV appetite suppressant effects: The Journal of Cannabis Research says that in animal studies, "THCV decreases appetite, increases satiety, and up-regulates metabolism."

● THCV weight loss: The same study says that it could be a "clinically useful remedy for weight loss and management of obesity and type 2 diabetic patients."

● Anti-nicotine effects: The British Journal of Pharmacology says that a study found that THCV "has potent anti-nicotine effects" and should be tested for possible anti-addiction effects against other addictive drugs.

● THCV energy boost: In addition to boosting metabolism, THCV acts like a stimulant, increasing energy levels and supporting exercise.

Is THCV legal?

Yes, THCV is a legal cannabinoid as long as it does not come from cannabis or contain more than 0.3% THC. This means that you can buy THCV products legally across the United States.

THC vs. THCV

THC is very similar to THCV at a molecular level, but THC effects are very different from THCV effects.

Naturally derived hemp THC gummies are excellent for relieving occasional pain, inflammation, nausea, and offering a dreamy state of relaxation. Like THCV, Delta-9-THC gummies are legal across the United States as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC by weight and are made from a full spectrum oil derived from hemp (not cannabis). Meanwhile, cannabis derived delta-9-THC products must be sold in dispensaries.

Despite the benefits of delta-9-THC, it it can also make you sleepy and increase hunger. So, its effects are almost the opposite of THCV effects. THCV can counter some of the munchies-inducing properties of THC but is best taken alone or with CBD for appetite suppression and energy.

If you're looking for THCV for sale, you should always look for companies that produce their products in a current Good Manufacturing Procedures (cGMP) certified facility, show third-party lab test reports online, and have a strong history of safety and satisfied customers (check their THCV edibles and oils reviews in particular).
