Rare Cannabinoid Company CBC (cannabichromene) oil tincture and Hawaiian Choice terpene-rich Focus CBD oil tincture.

CBC and Terpenes for Happiness and Focus

Feeling down or having a hard time focusing? Specific cannabinoids and terpenes may be able to help. Here, we’ll be taking a closer look at CBC (cannabichromene), which has been found to raise levels of the brain’s “bliss” chemical anandamide, and three terpenes believed to boost energy levels and help you concentrate.

Lift your mood with CBC

Some people really are born happier than others. It’s unfair but true. Scientists have found that people produce different levels of a fatty acid neurotransmitter called anandamide. It was named after the Sanskrit word “ananda” which means “bliss, happiness or contentment.” People with more anandamide feel more pleasure and less anxiety or fear. When our levels of anandamide are too low, we can experience low moods and depression.

Thankfully, anandamide is a type of cannabinoid that our bodies naturally produce (called an endocannabinoid.) When our ECS (endocannabinoid system) is out of balance, and our anandamide levels are too low, we can take cannabinoids found in hemp, cannabis and other plants (exocannabinoids) to boost anandamide and restore homeostasis.

This study examined the effects of different cannabinoids on anandamide levels and depression. It found that CBC (cannabichromene) was the best non-psychoactive cannabinoid for depression. THC was also very effective, but is psychoactive, and CBD came in second.

You can learn more about CBC for depression in our blog, which sites multiple human and preclinical studies. If you’re interested in trying these cannabinoids, Rare Cannabinoid Company offers: a purified CBC oil, Delta-8-THC (the hemp-derived cousin of “regular” Delta-9-THC), Hawaiian CBD oils and a 1:1 CBC CBD blend. Sister brand Hawaiian Choice offers broad spectrum CBD oils with added organic terpenes.

Terpenes for Focus

Terpenes are other naturally occurring compounds found in cannabis, hemp and other plants that, in addition to having different aromas and tastes, also offer unique treatment properties.

Hawaiian Choice Focus CBD contains 750mg broad spectrum Hawaiian CBD and three added organic terpenes designed to boost energy levels and promote focus, helping you attain that mental edge. The terpenes are:

Alpha Pinene: is believed to improve clarity, focus, memory, and may help with pain and inflammation.

Beta Pinene: may improve alertness, increase focus and energy.
Could assist with pain relief and reducing inflammation.

Limonene: may elevate mood, offer stress relief and improve energy levels and focus.

All Hawaiian Choice tinctures are infused with real Hawaiian pineapple, passion fruit, hibiscus, noni and honey for a wonderful, tropical taste.

Mix and match! Delta-8-THC and CBD

You can combine CBC (cannabichromene) with Hawaiian Choice Focus CBD for a mood and energy boost. Or mix and match other combinations for your needs from our apothecary line-up of products.

Delta-8-THC can also be very effective at elevating mood. It offers a euphoric, smooth high that is about half to two-thirds as intoxicating as “regular” Delta-9-THC. Learn about Delta-8-THC in this article on Leafly, the world’s largest cannabis information website or on our “What is Delta-8-THC?” blog.

Meanwhile, CBD may also lift your mood. In this study on people with SAD (social anxiety disorder), “CBD significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment and discomfort.” Rare Cannabinoid Company offers 500mg and 1000mg full spectrum Hawaiian CBD oils and as well as a 3000mg extra strength CBD booster. All Hawaiian Choice products contain broad spectrum CBD, which means THC is below lab detectable levels and it is therefore legal in countries that do not allow any THC, including Japan. (Full spectrum products must contain less than 0.3% THC to be sold in the U.S.)
