I'd like to see more research on already known cannabinoids. From what I've read, the effects of CBD on its own are pretty limited; most of its strength lies in "entourage effects" when combined with THC. The same seems true of CBG and CBC, though (possibly) to a smaller degree. I'd rather not have to take THC to get the others' analgesic, anti-inflammatory, or anti-viral effects. Research oriented toward THC alternatives or additives that minimize its psychoactive effects while still unlocking CB[CDG]'s effects would be great. Anybody know of any?

Totally agree. I honestly think the research is way too limited, but the entourage effect looks promising. But you are right, when we talk about the entourage effect we usually only think about THC and CBD. Not sure if you have seen these reviews (below), but they might be a good place to reference from. Ethan Russo seems to be the major authority on the subject. Although he is associated with GW pharmaceuticals, the producers of Epidiolex (CBD) for seizures. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317354478_Cannabis_Pharmacology_The_Usual_Suspects_and_a_Few_Promising_Leads https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317354478_Cannabis_... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6334252/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6334252/
