Cannabivarin, also known as cannabivarol or CBV, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in minor amounts in the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. It is an analog of cannabinol (CBN) with the sidechain shortened by two CH2 groups. CBV is an oxidation product of tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV, THV).

The cannabivarins have been found in samples from different parts of the world and although Turner reports different amounts for different geographical origins, he does not believe these compounds alone to be reliable indications of origin [ 33 ].
The TLC system was designed to give information on the cannabivarins in addition to the more commonly studied cannabinoids.
This seems unlikely, as elevated values of cannabivarin (CBV) are not found in this variety (oxidation to CBV being the most likely reaction).

Recycling of THC metabolites in this manner is reminiscent of the macrolide antibiotics and may also be related to the occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects by both groups of compounds.
We have found that in many samples of hashish a considerable quantity of cannabidivarin, tetrahydrocannabivarin and cannabivarin is present.
The identification and the quantitative determination contribute to a more exact chemical knowledge of the constituents and their biosyntheses and allow a better understanding of the different biological activities of hashish samples.
