Getting Rare with Spinach: How a Canadian Cannabis Brand is Changing the Game

Since sprouting up in 2018, Spinach has been on a mission—and no, not just to make you giggle at the grocery store every time you pass the salad section. This Canadian cannabis brand has quickly earned a rep for being bold, bright, and unapologetically fun. But beneath the cheeky name is a deep-rooted commitment to innovation, especially when it comes to something the average cannabis shopper might not even know about yet: rare cannabinoids.

Curious about rare cannabinoids? This visual guide spotlights the unsung heroes—CBG, CBN, CBC, and THCV—making waves in modern cannabis products.

🌱 Wait… What Are Rare Cannabinoids?

Most folks know about THC and CBD—they’re the headliners, the Beyoncé and Jay-Z of the cannabinoid family. But what about their lesser-known cousins? Enter CBG, CBN, CBC, and THCV—the up-and-coming entourage behind some of the most exciting new products on dispensary shelves.

Rare cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds in the cannabis plant found in much smaller amounts than THC or CBD. They’re kind of like indie bands: not everyone knows them yet, but those who do can’t stop talking about them.

🔬 Spinach’s Secret Sauce: Rare Cannabinoids & Cutting-Edge Cultivation

Spinach has leaned hard into the rare cannabinoid game—and it’s working. Their cultivation and formulation teams have been experimenting with advanced growing techniques and careful extraction processes to preserve and highlight these underdog compounds. The result? Products that don’t just get you high—they feel different. Purposeful. Elevated. (Pun always intended.)

Let’s break it down cannabinoid by cannabinoid—and yes, we’ve got the goods in stock for each one.

THCV is gaining popularity as cannabis’s clarity-enhancing cousin. Seen here with focus-themed icons, it’s the rare cannabinoid people are turning to for energized vibes and alert experiences.

🧠 THCV – The “Focus Fuel” Cannabinoid

While early research is still unfolding, THCV is often celebrated for its uplifting, energized vibe. Some users say it helps them feel focused and alert without the munchies—a.k.a. the “skinny cannabinoid,” though we’re definitely not making that claim ourselves.

Try it yourself:

Meet CBN, your new bedtime buddy. This calming compound is catching buzz for its mellow nighttime vibes and dreamy wind-down potential.

🌙 CBN – The Nightcap’s Best Friend

CBN has quietly become the cannabinoid of choice for chill evenings and bedtime rituals. While we can’t claim it’s the next melatonin, many consumers swear by it for winding down. Studies hint it may interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system in a way that promotes relaxation—but more research is still needed.

Feeling dreamy?

Surrounding elements include a cannabis leaf, a vape cartridge, and the headline “CBG – The Calm in the Chaos” on a soft yellow background. A button below reads “Dial it down (in the best way):”
Find your center with CBG—the mellow molecule that brings the chill without fogging your focus. Now featuring vape and edible options for your zen-state upgrade.

😌 CBG – The Calm in the Chaos

Often described in wellness circles as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG is gaining love for its balanced, mellow vibe. Fans often describe a clear-headed calm that doesn’t sacrifice alertness. Think zen garden meets productive morning.

Dial it down (in the best way):

The headline reads “The Unsung Hero of the Entourage” and a yellow button at the bottom asks “Looking for synergy?”—all set against a warm yellow background.
CBC may not grab headlines, but it plays a powerful supporting role in the cannabis entourage effect. Here’s to harmony, balance, and a smoother ride.

💥 CBC – The Unsung Hero of the Entourage

While CBC doesn’t hog the spotlight, it plays a supporting role in what’s known as the entourage effect—how all cannabinoids and terpenes work together for a richer, fuller experience. Some users say it helps amplify the effects of other cannabinoids in a smooth, steady way.

Looking for synergy?

📈 Why Rare Cannabinoids Are the Future

Let’s be real: cannabis isn’t just about THC percentages anymore. Today’s consumers are curious, health-conscious, and hungry for functional experiences—whether it’s better sleep, a creative spark, or a zen state of mind.

That’s where rare cannabinoids come in. They’re the answer to the question: “What else can this plant do for me?” And Spinach is helping to lead the charge, combining data-driven R&D with formulations that taste as good as they feel.
