Cannabichromene (CBC) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid gaining attention for its mood-enhancing potential. Research suggests that CBC may act as a natural antidepressant by increasing levels of anandamide, a feel-good endocannabinoid often referred to as the "bliss molecule." A 2010 study published in Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior found that CBC exhibited significant antidepressant-like activity in animal models.

 

By inhibiting anandamide reuptake, CBC may help elevate mood and reduce anxiety—especially when used alongside other cannabinoids as part of a full- or broad-spectrum extract. It also plays a synergistic role in the entourage effect, contributing to overall wellness and balance.

 

While CBC may also reduce inflammation and support brain health, its promising impact on mood makes it a standout cannabinoid worth exploring further.
