CBT

No, most scientific research and evidence points to CBT not having any notable psychoactive properties. Most people who have used CBT generally do not report having experienced any form of psychoactive effect. Even though CBT’s chemical structure is similar to that of THC, that does not necessarily mean it is psychoactive.

We should look at the definition of “psychoactive compound.” For example, CBD is a psychoactive compound because it results in physiological changes and acts upon the receptors of the endocannabinoid system. However, CBD does not give you the same effects as THC. Cannabinoids can be considered psychoactive compounds even when they do not induce an intoxicating side effect.

No, CBT is a phytocannabinoid and can be found naturally in cannabis, hemp, and other plants, which makes it not inherently a synthetic cannabinoid. However, CBT is found in very low concentrations in the cannabis and hemp plants. Then it is converted from other cannabinoids like CBD or CBG. In the conversion process, it does not add or subtract any foreign substances, but the results of the CBT cannabinoid molecules cannot be considered fully “all-natural.”

Due to how rare CBT is and the lack of research on it, most hemp users generally use this cannabinoid like they would CBD. Since it’s rare to find pure CBT, most companies sell products that are CBD-based with CBT and other cannabinoids mixed into them. Luckily, ATLRx sells CBT cannabinoid distillate, which is pure CBT.

While there has not been much research on CBT, more studies need to be done to have solid evidence of what CBT does. It is shown to have similar effects to CBD. Many people use CBT and are big advocates for CBD as well. They say using CBT will have similar potential benefits to those that CBD provides.

Yes. The legality of CBT cannabinoids falls under the same conditions as CBD. In 2018, Congress passed a bill called the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the 2018 Farm Bill (commonly known as), which allows the sale, use, and manufacture of hemp-derived products so long as the hemp has a 0.3% or less THC by dry weight basis. While CBT, which is hemp-derived, is considered federally legal, some states have declared bans and restrictions on certain cannabinoids, and this must be taken into consideration. Please check with your local laws in your state to see if CBT is legal. Also, if you live in a state that allows the use of CBT products, stay current with the laws because they may change at any moment. With today’s current political climate, laws can change at any time. This goes as well for states that do not allow CBT or other cannabinoids, which can change in your favor at any time.

There is not enough research on CBT to make a full and compelling argument about the difference between CBD and CBT. What we do know is that they are both non-psychoactive. Both have a strong affinity with THC to produce an entourage effect. CBD has a habit of crystallizing, while CBT is known to prevent CBD from crystallizing when added to CBD.

CBG is known as cannabigerol and has more similarities to CBT than differences. If you look at the cannabinoid family tree, CBT would be a few branches away from CBG. CBG would be considered the “parent molecule” from which all the popular cannabinoids come.

CBT and THC are very different from each other. The effects that THC has are the complete opposite of what CBT does. Also, from a legal perspective, THC and CBT are very different since THC remains a Schedule I drug and is still federally illegal. At the same time, CBT products are considered federally legal as long as they fall under the 2018 Farm Bill guidelines.

CBT is created within the trichomes of the cannabis, hemp flowers, or calyxes, the female part of the hemp plants. The trichomes, which are rich in cannabinoids, are then separated and extracted using various scientific methods, including ethanol and supercritical CO2 extraction. 

Chromatography machines are used to separate and isolate the individual molecular compounds extracted from the plant, including CBT and CBT-C. The CBT extraction method requires solvents due to the low amounts of cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. 

Yes, CBT is a cannabinoid found in the resin of mature hemp flowers. It is one of the primary cannabinoid compounds found in hemp plants. Research has shown that CBD-rich hemp plants produce higher levels of CBT than THC-rich cannabis plants.

Yes, in a way, it is because it comes from hemp. The hemp plant contains over 100 cannabinoids that we know of, and CBT is one of the cannabinoids that the hemp plant produces. To say CBT is the same as hemp is like saying the daughter is the same as the mother. One comes from the other, and they are related.

Before the discovery of CBT as a naturally occurring cannabinoid in hemp plants, it was synthesized in a lab in 1971 by a famous British natural chemist named Leslie Crombie. Crombie called it “cyrildene cannabis,” assuming he had duplicated a natural product from the cannabis plant. After two years, his theory proved true when Ludwig Bercht and other chemists isolated a sample of cannabis resin from the trichomes of the cannabis flower and saw that it was identical to the cannabinoid compound Crombie had created.

The answer to this is not exact, and CBT is found in various amounts depending on the hemp or cannabis plant. Since CBT is so rare, it is hard to determine the exact amount that can be found in the plant. It is said that hemp plants that are high in CBD will have a higher amount of CBT. With more research and studies, more information will come out about the levels of CBT that can be found in cannabis and hemp.

As studies have shown, all cannabinoids contribute to the entourage effect, and that includes CBT. For example, in full spectrum CBD oil, the whole plant is extracted, meaning you get all of the cannabinoid compounds in the plant. Every compound in the hemp plant plays a role in the entourage effect.

Yes, CBT is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the hemp plant and has the reputation of being very safe. We can say that CBT is as safe as any other cannabinoid, like CBD. Although there has not been much research on the safety of CBT, it is impossible to give an exact answer.

Shopping with reputable companies that provide third-party tests or COAs is a guaranteed way to ensure your safety when buying hemp-derived products. ATLRx provides our customers with the highest quality products that have been tested extensively to guarantee purity and safety.

Since CBT is such a scarce cannabinoid, not much information is available on which strains have high amounts of CBT. In recent years, research has shown that hemp plants that are high in CBD will have a higher amount of CBT. With more time and research, we are sure that experts will identify which strains are high in CBT cannabinoids.

Yes, hemp does contain CBT, but in trace amounts; as we said earlier, hemp plants with high CBD levels will have more CBT.

The concentration of CBT in cannabis is hard to determine, but the concentration percentage is very low. CBT can be found in certain strains; not all strains contain CBT. Due to the rarity of CBT, more research and studies need to be done to determine the concentration of CBT in cannabis and which strains contain it.

CBT is classified as a di-ether, which means it contains an identical chemical relationship with CBD, like CBD’s interaction with THC and other cannabinoids. CBT and CBD are present naturally in hemp plants like terpenes and flavonoids; they all work together to synergistically produce the entourage effect. The entourage effect only occurs when multiple plant compounds work together to create a symphony.

While the minimum age for certain states in the U.S. is 18 years old, there is no official age requirement in the United States. At ATLRx and in the state of Georgia, we require that adults be over the age of 21 years old to be able to purchase our products. If you have this product in your house, you should take precautions to keep it out of the reach of animals and children.

The best way to store CBT distillate or any other hemp product is in an airtight container away from heat and sunlight. The biggest enemy to the longevity of your product is oxidation. It is very important to store your product properly if you want them to last longer. If exposed to oxygen and light, your product only takes a few days to go rancid and lose strength. Always keep your products in airtight containers away from heat and light.
