New study shows that (−)-Cannabichromene activates CB2 receptors 🧠, while (+)-CBC does not. Both enantiomers activate TRPA1 receptors, but (−)-CBC is the more effective isomer for targeting cannabinoid receptors. 📄 Read more: buff.ly/3YabnZo 🌿 #Cannabinoids #CBC

Exciting to see this project move into the construction phase. It’s a complex beast, but will build critical capacity for NSW and Australia in this rapidly emerging technology

Glad to finally share that (-)- CBC is the active CB2 isomer but both CBC isomers are active at TRPA1
