The lunar cycle affects the energy on Earth, from the tides of the ocean to the soil supporting our roots. For centuries, the influence of the moon has guided agricultural traditions across various cultures.

ATTUNE WITH THE

moon

By aligning our cultivation with the moon's phases, we synergize with Mother Nature to empower both our plants and communities to reach their full potential.

We dedicate ourselves to all-natural cultivation practices to grow plants with unique cannabinoids and robust terpene profiles. This approach allows us to create exclusive, hand-crafted cannabis that is as diverse as the communities we serve.

NATURAL NATURAL
THCV

0117-thcv.png

Tetrahydrocannabivarin, or THCV, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid produced by the cannabis plant along with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and terpenes. While THCV is still new to the scene, it has impressed many with its energizing, focusing, and euphoric high–while still creating a lucid, uplifting, experience.

Think of THCV as a partner cannabinoid to THC, often inducing different and sometimes complementary effects. With THCV, you’ll experience a more functional high, perfect for occasions when you want to feel more energized and focused. We like to say THCV is all the fun of THC (a social lubricant with added bonuses), but without the downsides (psychoactive cloudiness, anxiety, lethargy, munchies) that are often associated with THC products.

Early research shows many health and wellness applications for THCV, from positive outcomes for diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases, to appetite, and anti-anxiety.

JOYRIDE

BALANCED RATIOS OF THCV:THC

Joyride is here to elevate your day. Whether at the beach, a party, or your next video call, get hyped on this engaging and energizing new cannabis experience without any of the anxiety or brain fog. Keep your head clear, your mood elevated, and your ride joyful.

 

Bye-bye outer space–hello Joyride.

Natural Natural plants stay true to their source in nature and produce a naturally-occurring THCV.

Joyride and GSD both originated from a plant high in CBD and low in CBDV and THCV (varins). The plant had landrace characteristics such as a large plant stature and loose, airy, late-maturing flowers with low overall cannabinoid levels.

Through modern plant breeding techniques our varin plant was crossed with plants showing more desirable characteristics–early maturing and robust stature–resulting in the first cannabis varieties with naturally-occurring high-THCV, Joyride and GSD.

The science behind THCV.

THCV starts with butanoic acid (remember, it only has three side-chain carbon atoms); while THC begins with hexanoic acid (five side-chain carbon atoms). Both acids are then activated by the same acyl-activating enzyme (AAE) to produce butanoyl CoA (for cannabivarins) and hexanoyl CoA (for cannabinols).

For cannabivarins, butanoyl CoA eventually joins with divarinolic acid, which has two fewer carbon atoms than olivetolic acid which joins with the cannabinol hexanoyl CoA.

From here, the process continues in parallel, converting CBGVA (cannabivarins) or CBGA (cannabinols) by THCA synthase. Resulting in THCV once decarboxylated with heat.
