With synthetic cannabinoids we can have really strong THC why cant we have a synthetic version of CBD that’s super strong?
In: Biology
I think you are too confused as to just what synthetic cannabinoids are in the first place. The way this whole post reads, it seems you see it as a form of THC that is produced in a laboratory. This is not the case (unless you are talking about delta 8 thc, but even that is still natural as it lays in organic chemistry; we just speed up the process of obtaining a lot by converting CBD)… I digress, synthetic cannabinoids have very little resemblance to any naturally occuring cannabinoid just by chemical structure alone. Pretty much the only thing in common is/are some slightly similar psychoactive effects.
So, it’s not synthetically produced THC or CBD, at all! It’s other completely different super cooked chemicals that just happen to kind of portray some of the effects of cannabinoids. Because of this, I doubt a synthetic CBD would ever get discovered much less even viable to our Earth’s total chemistry possibilities.
Hope this helped, if not, I’d be happy to try to clear it up some more. I guess it depends on how you define synthetics as well as cannabinoids but honestly, that still would not matter. They are not cannabinoids at all, but rather (mostly) ethyl and methyl indole chemicals. Even meth can cause some play on certain cannabinoid receptors in the animal brain; doesn’t mean it replaces THC and/or CBD.
