I thought we would just look at some fun facts about BCP (Beta Caryophyllene) this week. Did you know BCP was?
Fun Facts about BCP:
- Discovered in 1964 by Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam
- 2008 German scientists observed it’s cannabinoid-like characteristics
- It can be categorised as both a terpene and a cannabinoid
- Because it is not exclusive to the cannabis plant, it is fully legal
- It has been found, through research and anecdotal evidence, to deliver a wider spectrum of efficacies than many other terpenes and cannabinoids
- BCP has been found to selectively activate the CB2 receptors of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
- Its activation of CB2 receptors within the ECS resulted in “decreased alcohol consumption and preference”.
