What is CBM? A Cannabinoid Extracted from Hemp that Could be the Next Big Thing

A cannabinoid called Cannabimovone (CBM) was recently discovered in a hemp plant known as Carmagnola and has been recognized as a cannabinoid with some unique benefits to offer. These benefits could include advances in the treatment of diabetes, eating, and metabolic disorders. The Carmagnola strain is named after the village in Piedmont, near Turin in Italy where it was found. This village is known historically to specialize in growing hemp for use in making things such as sails, nets, ropes, and marine wear.
