Some experts believe that THCB's unique shape gives it a slightly stronger binding affinity with CB1 receptors in the brain, promising a psychoactive kick, potential analgesic properties and possible anti-inflammatory effects. Despite the lack of information on this new and exciting compound, THCB is believed to have strikingly similar effects to regular THC, but with one key difference: increased potency, perhaps 5 to 10 times more potent! The compound has a higher affinity for cannabinoid receptors due to its butyl side chain, as opposed to the pentyl side chain of delta 9, making THCB much more potent than THC.
