CBC: What It Is and How to Take It

New to CBC? Start here. CBC is a non-intoxicating minor cannabinoid that works alongside THC and CBD as part of the plant's natural mix. This guide explains what it is and how to take it.

What is CBC?

CBC (cannabichromene) is a non-intoxicating minor cannabinoid, so it does not produce a high on its own. It occurs alongside THC and CBD as part of the plant's natural blend of compounds, sometimes described as the entourage effect. Labels show CBC content in milligrams (mg).

CBC is usually present in small amounts and shows up most often in gummies, softgels, and topicals, typically paired with other cannabinoids. Cannabis is for adults 19+.

CBC questions, answered

The things new customers ask us most.

Will CBC get me high?

No. CBC is non-intoxicating, so on its own it does not produce a high. It is often paired with other cannabinoids, so check the label.

What is the entourage effect?

It is the idea that cannabinoids and terpenes can work together, so a full-spectrum product with CBC, THC, CBD, and others may feel different from any single compound alone.

Why is there only a little CBC in most products?

CBC is a minor cannabinoid, so the plant makes it in small amounts. You will usually see it listed alongside larger amounts of THC or CBD.

What is the difference between CBC and CBD?

Both are non-intoxicating. CBD is the most common and most studied cannabinoid, while CBC is rarer and usually present in smaller amounts. See our CBD guide to compare.
