Cannabins

/ˈkænəbɪnz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of cannabin; multiple resinous compounds or mixtures found in cannabis plants.

Etymology

Simply the plural of 'cannabin,' formed by adding '-s.' Used in older scientific literature to refer to various extracted substances.

Kelly Says

Early cannabis chemistry was confusing because 'cannabins' was used as a catch-all term for multiple different compounds—it wasn't until the 1960s that scientists could separate and identify individual cannabinoids.
