// Definition
A non-psychoactive cannabinoid rarely found in high concentrations in modern cannabis. A Himalayan hashish study found a sample containing 30.6% CBC, the highest natural concentration documented. Most commercial CBC is currently made synthetically from olivetol and citral in a one or two-step procedure.
// From the Episode
Dr. Mark Lewis confirmed he was unaware of any natural variety reaching 30% CBC concentration. David Watson (Skunkman Sam) was believed to have bred a high-CBC line for GW Pharmaceuticals. The discovery suggests rare cannabinoid diversity still exists in landrace populations.
