Scientific names: Cannabidivarin
Alternate names: Cannabidiverol, CBD-V, CBDV, GWP42006
Actions: General, Gastrointestinal, Musculoskeletal, Neurologic/CNS
Background
Cannabidivarin (CBDV) is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is similar to cannabidiol (CBD). Like CBD, cannabidivarin does not affect thinking.
Early research suggests that cannabidivarin might make certain nerve cells less active. These nerve cells are involved in swelling (inflammation), seizures, pain, and other conditions. By making these cells less active, cannabidivarin might improve these conditions.
There is interest in using cannabidivarin for seizure disorder, nausea, long-term swelling (inflammation) in the digestive tract, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
