Cannabinoid
CBCA
Cannabichromenic acid
C₂₂H₃₀O₄
358.48 g/mol Non-intoxicating (raw)
Typical abundancetrace
Receptor targets
Biosynthetic acid — negligible direct receptor activity
Mechanism of action
The acidic precursor of CBC, built from CBGA by CBCA synthase. It decarboxylates to CBC under heat or UV light, completing the CBGA → THCA / CBDA / CBCA synthase branch point.
Reported effects
Common terpenes
Research
Preclinical and sparse; activity is inferred largely from its neutral form CBC.
