Cannabichromene (also CBC ) is one of 113 cannabinoids discovered so far . It does not have an analgesic effect itself, but it supports the pain-relieving effect of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and has a calming effect. In addition, an antibiotic effect was found against bacteria that are considered to be resistant to classic antibiotics . When cannabichromene is exposed to light, it can produce cannabicyclol . The occurrence of CBC is higher in cannabis indica than in cannabis sativa .

In the US , CBC is used in the form of medical cannabis , e.g. B. against epilepsy and to support the analgesic effect of tetrahydrocannabinol.
