First discovered in 1973, tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a rare cannabinoid structurally similar to THC but with distinct effects. Unlike THC, THCV is often associated with a more clear-headed and energetic experience.

THCV occurs naturally in some cannabis strains, particularly those originating from Africa. It interacts with CB1 receptors in the brain, but its effects can vary depending on dosage. In small amounts, THCV may act as a CB1 receptor blocker, reducing THC’s intoxicating effects. However, in higher doses, it can behave similarly to THC, producing mild euphoria.
