The hemp flower cannabinoid count is 113 but a more important number to discuss is 60. There are 60 cannabinoids which have only been identified in the hemp plant. We hear a lot about CBD in hemp and the many benefits of it. And we also know a lot about the second most talked about Cannabinoid called Delta 9-THC. THC is not the second most common in hemp because it is only allowed at 0.3% content according to the 2018 Farm Bill. The two most common cannabinoids after CBD are Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabichromene (CBC) and Cannabinol (CBN).
Simplifying Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are compounds that occur naturally in the cannabis plant covering both the psychoactive and the non-psychoactive compounds in the cannabis plant
Cannabinol is CBN and it is the first cannabinoid that was discovered by scientists. CBN is produced when THC is heated to oxygen.
Cannabigerol is CBG and it is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. The cannabis plant has less than 1% of CBG so it is a minor cannabinoid.
Cannabidiol is CBD and is also one of the naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis. CBD is a cannabinoid that is not psychoactive but it is the other most commonly found compound in the cannabis plant.
Tetrahydrocannabinol is THC and is the psychoactive cannabinoid in the cannabis plant also known as marijuana.

THC is the hemp flower cannabinoid responsible for a majority of marijuana's psychological effects. THC attaches to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and activates them. These are the receptors that affect a person's thinking, pleasure, coordination, and time perception. CBD is the main non-psychoactive cannabinoid in the cannabis plant and, in fact, blocks a degree of the “high” associated with THC.
