Pharmacology
CBGV is the propyl homologue of CBG: its side chain has only three carbons instead of five. Non-psychotropic, it arises from the decarboxylation of cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA) and feeds the plant's "varin" branch, which leads to THCV and CBDV. Like CBG, it shows modest affinity for the CB1 and CB2 receptors and interacts with the TRP channels; its data remain essentially preclinical.
Biosynthetic pathway
Arises from the decarboxylation of cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA), the "varin" branch (propyl chain) of cannabinoid biosynthesis. Formed in the glandular trichomes, it serves as the precursor of the propyl forms such as THCV and CBDV.
Legal framework
France
Not classified as a narcotic · tolerated as a minor cannabinoid (hemp THC threshold)
European Union
Unscheduled · governed as a hemp-derived ingredient (novel food status depending on the form)
