The Benefits of Ratioed Cannabinoids

With over 100 individual cannabinoids in cannabis, it can be hard to choose just one while we look through all of the emerging products on the legal hemp market.  But the good news is that we don’t have to.  For years, we’ve known that cannabinoids share a synergistic relationship to one another, meaning that taking multiple cannabinoids at once can introduce new desirable effects into the body while aiding in the bioavailability and potency of one another.  And now, there’s a new approach to crafting extract-based hemp formulas through the use of ratioed cannabinoids, and it is certainly a passion of ours here at Greenlife Remedies.

Ratioed Cannabinoids: More Than a Guessing Game

“Ratioed cannabinoids” refers to any product that combines cannabinoids together in a particular ratio – for instance, 2:1 delta 8 THC to CBD.  It’s a way to bring together the potential benefits of two cannabinoids at once, either to balance one another out or offer a synergistic expression of their two properties at once.

What’s important to know is that the ratios are not arbitrarily determined.  They’re in fact very scientifically based, thanks to the advancements in cannabis research that followed legalization across much of the country.  We actually have medical researchers to thank, as many are researching the effects of specific cannabinoid ratios as part of the process of developing cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals and other health products.

These researchers are discovering that specific desirable effects can be achieved through precise ratios, and this information is now being widely used throughout the hemp industry to benefit customers as much as possible.

Types of Cannabinoid Ratios on Today’s Market

There are some specific types of cannabinoid ratios that you’re more likely to encounter than others, so let’s explain what each one can be used for to help you decide which is right for you.

Delta 9:CBD

Federally compliant delta 9 THC is a new addition to the hemp market, and also is the only hemp-derived cannabinoid that has strict legal requirements about its concentration in any product.  Delta 9 can only make up 0.3% of the product’s composition by dry weight, but portion sizes can be large enough that delta 9 can make up 10 or even more milligrams per serving.  Adding CBD in a specific proportion to a delta 9 product boosts its overall cannabinoid content, with the CBD both offering a more soothing type of high and taking the edge off of delta 9.  CBD may simultaneously aid in the bioavailability of delta 9 to compensate for lower THC milligram strengths.

Delta 8:CBN

Delta 8 and CBN are commonly combined with one another specifically for sleep products.  This actually comes from years of cannabis experts researching the unique relationship between CBN and THC.  Many people say that CBN, also known as cannabinol, is the ideal cannabinoid for sleep.  But, it’s believed that CBN’s sleep-enhancing potential is fully unlocked when the cannabinoid joins forces with THC, opening up a synergistic effect that may be particularly effective.

CBD:CBG

CBD and CBG are both non-intoxicating cannabinoids that work closely with the endocannabinoid system to regulate important bodily processes.  CBG is most commonly used for its potential anti-inflammatory properties, and also combining it with CBD may amplify this effect.

Delta 10:Delta 8

Delta 10 and delta 8 are two mildly psychoactive cannabinoids that are somewhat opposite from one another.  Delta 10 is known for its uplifting effects similar to a sativa cannabis strain, and delta 8 is more known for its soothing effects that feel a lot like an indica.  Playing around with different delta 10 to delta 8 ratios is not that different from breeding a hybrid strain between an indica and a sativa parent.

Delta 8:CBD

Combining delta 8 and CBD is usually done specifically for those who are trying out psychoactive cannabinoids initially, and simply want some CBD to dilute the delta 8’s psychoactive properties to “ease into” the process of developing a tolerance to THC’s intoxicating effects.

Finding the Ultimate Cannabinoid Ratio for Your Hemp Needs

Combining cannabinoids together can help you zero in on your specific cannabinoid-related goals like never before, and now manufacturers are making it incredibly easy for customers by creating scientifically-based cannabinoid ratios to give you precise synergistic effects for maximum satisfaction.  Consider some ratioed cannabinoid products from Greenlife Remedies if you’re ready to take your hemp experience to the next level.
