Tetrahydrocannabivarin
Tetrahydrocannabivarin, also known as tetrahydrocannabivarol, THCV, or THV, is a psychoactive cannabinoid found in the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. It is an analog of tetrahidrocanabidiol (THC) with the sidechain shortened by two CH groups. THCV can be used as a marker compound to differentiate between the consumption of hemp products and synthetic THC (Dronabinol,Marinol).
Natural occurrence
THCV is found in largest quantities from Indica strains. Some varieties that produce propyl cannabinoids in significant amounts, over five percent of total cannabinoids, have been found in plants from South Africa, Nigeria, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and Nepal with THCV as high as 53.69% of total cannabinoids. They usually have moderate to high levels of both THC and CBD and hence have a complex cannabinoid chemistry representing some of the world's most exotic cannabis varieties.
