Compare cannabinoids at a glance
A side-by-side comparison of CBD, CBG, CBN, Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, and THCa — how each one works, what to expect, and the products to start with.
| Feature | CBD | CBG | CBN | D8 THC | D9 THC | THCA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IMPACT | Non-psychoactive | Non-psychoactive | Non-psychoactive | Psychoactive | Psychoactive | Non-psychoactive |
| How it works | Research suggests that CBD prevents the break down of endocannabinoids so there remains an ample natural supply for your body. | Binds with the body’s primary cannabinoid receptor, CB1, which is directly responsible for balancing mood. | Binds with both main receptors, CB1 & CB2 but contains about a quarter of the potency of THC. | Dominantly binds with the primary cannabinoid (or CB1) receptor, but with a weaker bond than Delta-9 THC. | Delivers generous psychoactive effects than Delta-8 due to its stronger bond with the cannabinoid receptor, CB1. | Incapable of binding with either of the brain’s main cannabinoid receptors, due to its large molecular size. |
| INSIGHTS | Cannabidiol (“CBD”), is the second most active constituent found in the hemp plant. Out of all the cannabinoids, CBD exhibits the most extensive array of advantageous characteristics. | Cannabigerol (“CBG”) is the pre-cursing cannabinoid to both CBD and THC. | Cannabinol (“CBN”), is produced when THC breaks down under high heat, light, and oxygen exposure. Similar to CBD, it can be ingested in various forms. | Delta-8 products are extracted from cannabis-sourced CBD, which originates in the cannabis sativa plant. | Delta-9 is also derived from the cannabis sativa plant. Its effects tend to be more potent than those of Delta-8. Delta-9 products can be smoked or vaped in flower form or can be extracted for use in edibles, topicals, and other preparations. | Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (“THCa”), decarboxylates when subjected to heat. It then breaks down into the more common THC. Vulnerable to heat, THCa is consumed as fresh extract or raw cannabis. |

Research suggests that a strain’s dominant terpenes, along with its particular cannabinoid profile, dictates the brain + body effects of that strain.
