THC-b - Not to be confused with THC-a

Hello Joe. I pulled this from Leafly. THCV, or tetrahydrocannabivarin is found in highest concentrations in African sativas.

THCV is psychoactive (in higher doses). It intensifies the euphoric high of THC, but with only about half the duration.

THCV is energetic. It provides a clear-headed, stimulating buzz.

THCV is an appetite suppressant. In contrast to THC, THCV dulls the appetite. This may be good for consumers focused on weight loss, but THCV should be avoided by patients treating appetite loss or anorexia.

THCV may help with diabetes. Research shows promise in THCV’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce insulin resistance.

THCV reduces panic attacks. It appears to curb anxiety attacks in PTSD patients without suppressing emotion.

THCV may help with Alzheimer’s. Tremors, motor control, and brain lesions associated with Alzheimer’s disease appear to be improved by THCV, but research is in progress.

THCV stimulates bone growth. Because it promotes the growth of new bone cells, THCV is being looked at for osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.

Strains with THCV are usually from Africa, including Durbin Poisin, Doug's Varin, Pineapple Purps, Power Plant, Willie Nelson, Red Congolese, Jack the Ripper, Durbal Cheese, and Skunk #1.

Hope that helped.
