THCV is an abbreviation for tetrahydrocannabivarin, which is a psychoactive cannabinoid found mostly in cannabis sativa strains. THCV has a stimulating and/or psychedelic effect and promotes weight loss by decreasing appetite, increasing metabolism, and improving insulin sensitivity.
Marijuana strains high in THCV are sometimes called "diet weed" or "skinny pot" due to its anti-munchie effects.
