CBC is a rare, non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in small amounts in Cannabis sativa. It shows preferential affinity for CB2 receptors, TRPA1, TRPV1, and other TRP channels, demonstrating anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticonvulsant, antidepressant-like, and neuroprotective properties in preclinical studies. Human data are sparse; most information derives from animal studies and anecdotal reports with commercial CBC isolates. CBC is metabolized primarily by CYP2C9 and shows minimal to weak inhibitory effects on CYP450 enzymes. Monitor medications metabolized by CYP2C9 and 2C19, particularly those with narrow therapeutic indices.
