Cannabinoids

While THC gets the attention, there are over 70 cannabinoids in Cannabis. The other cannabinoids—and terpenes—are believed to have therapeutic effects and must be considered by patients.

Among other effects, cannabinoids suppress pain and nausea while stimulating appetite, euphoria or calm. They are also thought to interact, with CBC enhancing the effects of THC, and CBD enhancing both THC and CBC.
