Big Deal About Minor Cannabinoids
The Big Deal about MINOR
CANNABINOIDS
Talk with Coast Cannabis Co.
Coast Cannabis Co., all natural, high-quality cannabis, was brought to fruition by Angela Brown and her husband Brian. The couple has been together for 15 years; 7 of which has been spent perfecting their brand.
Brown explained that Coast is an “ethically sourced, clean product,” that differs from other types of cannabis. While most of the cannabis that people consume has additives, Coast products do not.
The idea for the brand and its name was developed when the couple moved near Cape Cod. Brown recalled the sites, landscapes and scenery that was in front of them. To pair with this “beautiful place,” the couple decided to create a product for people to use on the coast, whether that be for partying or chilling out.
As a result, they produced Coast Cannabis.
“At Coast Cannabis Co., we craft quality products to give our customers the cannabis we wanted to see in the world,” they said. “We’re making sure everything that goes into our products is something we’d be proud to put into our bodies.”
Offering chocolate bars, infused gummies and vaporizers, Coast Cannabis has a variety of clean options to choose from. Some of these products include the most popular minor cannabinoids in the cannabis world right now: THCV, CBG and CBN.
Brown explained that THCV, also known as “skinny weed,” is “still very anecdotal.” There are a variety of studies that still need to be done with this cannabinoid, although she said it is sweeping across the nation.
In Brown’s opinion, THCV leaves you feeling “upbeat” and “high energy.” This cannabinoid is not easy to source or process and is quite expensive.
CBG, a “euphoric high,” as described by Brown, is another popular cannabinoid. Depending on the person you ask, Brown said their experiences with CBG may differ, although she thinks that CBG is better consumed during the day.
“It doesn’t make you couch bound,” but rather matches with what your body needs, said Brown. Whether that be motivation, or a more relaxed, “go with the flow type thing,” Brown said CBG does the trick, whereas CBN does the opposite.
“CBN is shown to be very sedative,” said Brown. “It’s used a lot in the hemp world.”
Although there is debate around when CBG should be consumed, Brown said it seems to be agreed upon that CBN is for night time use.
Both CBG and CBN are prominent in many plants and have been used more so than THCV, she noted.
A product that Coast carries with CBG in it is their Tangerine Gummies. Brown said the gummies are a good day time, and even high, that won’t make you sleepy.
On the other hand, a product they
carry with CBN is their Cranberry Pomegranate Gummies. While CBN is a sedated cannabinoid, Brown said these gummies will help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
Although THCV, CBG and CBN are the three most popular cannabinoids right now, Brown predicts that next year, we will probably be talking about three new ones.
“There’s so much to see and study,” she said.
Brown noted that although some of these cannabinoids may work for some, that doesn’t mean they will work the same for everyone.
CHALLENGES When starting Coast Cannabis during a pre pandemic time, Brown said they always looked for “the best of the best”
when sourcing conscientiously.
“We wanted to be organic, ethically sourced,” and so on, said Brown. However, when creating a product, she noted that one hurdle they’ll have to deal with forever is the inability to go out and get the product. “This makes it challenging,” she said.
Since the start of COVID-19, Brown said the supply chain has made it difficult for them to get certain products. For instance, in January, a supplier that provides them with one particular product, notified them that another company pre-purchased all of their inventory for 2022.
“It’s not easy to replace these ingredients,” said Brown.
Rather than substituting an ingredient to make the product, Brown said they would pull it from the shelves completely.
“We won’t cut the quality on it… that’s important to us,” Brown emphasized. Another challenge that Coast has faced this year especially, is with packaging.
“Cannabis has to have very special packaging,” explained Brown. As Covid has affected the paper industry, this has caused interruptions in their packaging process.
Although this is another hindrance that Coast has had to work through, Brown recognized that they, along with every other business, has experienced struggles throughout this unprecedented time.
Regardless of obstacles along the way, Brown said they will overcome, and continue to produce the highest-quality cannabis for consumers.
