Shopping for cannabinoids used to present a clean little fork in the road: THC if you wanted the high, CBD if you did not. The modern shelf is less binary and a lot more interesting.
Today’s formulas pair major and minor cannabinoids around a desired experience. THCV shows up in daytime products. CBC gets folded into mood-minded blends.
