Cbc Cannabinoid
Cannabichromene (CBC) is a minor cannabinoid found in cannabis flower and concentrate, structurally similar to CBD and THC but with a distinct biosynthetic pathway. Unlike terpenes, CBC is a cannabinoid—produced in the plant's trichomes through enzymatic conversion from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). Lineage records and breeding data show CBC concentrations vary significantly across cultivars, with some landrace and modern breeding lines producing measurable levels (0.1–1% or higher in select strains). Breeders interested in full-spectrum or minor-cannabinoid profiles often select parent plants with elevated CBC expression to stabilize this trait in offspring.

Breeders working toward minor-cannabinoid phenotypes monitor CBC alongside CBD, CBG, and CBN levels during selection and testing. CBC inheritance is polygenic and influenced by environmental factors, making it a trait of interest for craft and medical-focused breeding programs seeking cannabinoid diversity.
