CBC (cannabichromene) is a non-psychoactive minor cannabinoid present in small amounts in most cannabis cultivars. It is being studied for potential anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and antidepressant effects. CBC is rarely sold as a single-cannabinoid product but appears in full-spectrum tinctures.

Example: CBC is one of the lesser-studied minor cannabinoids.
