A cross of our favorite Dream Tonic #2 cut to Karmatonic Z. Dream Tonic is a mostly sativa hybrid with medium sized dense golf ball flowers. Created by my good friend High Alpine Genetics, Dream tonic is known for her high CBC content. While our cut tested around 1% CBC, we selected for profile and resin over chemical analysis. Artificial grape is what you get with this one and frost covering the fan leaves. Combined with Karmatonic to increase yields and shorten flowering, what more could you ask for? Cannabichromene (CBC)CBC is non-intoxicating, so it doesn’t produce a euphoric high like THC. The reason it is non-intoxicating is because it binds poorly to CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the brain. But CBC does bind with other receptors in the body, such as the vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), both of which are linked to pain perception. When CBC activates these receptors, increased levels of the body’s natural endocannabinoids like anandamide are released. CBC’s Medicinal Potential The purported benefits of CBC have far-reaching implications. Below are a few medical conditions that may be alleviated by cannabichromene. CancerCannabichromene may be a powerful cancer fighter, and the reason might be its interaction with the body’s natural endocannabinoid, anandamide. CBC also appears to inhibit the uptake of anandamide, allowing it to remain longer in the bloodstream. Pain and InflammationCannabichromene has been shown to block pain and inflammation associated with collagen-induced osteoarthritis. Cannabinoids like CBC act on inflammation differently than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) do, and don’t have the side effects of these medications. Brain CellsIn a 2013 mouse study, CBC had a positive effect on neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs), a cell essential to healthy brain function. NSPCs became more viable when in the presence of CBC, and that shows promise because NSPCs differentiate into astroglial ce
