Varin Weight Loss Miracle Pills

     The world of cannabis has really expanded in the last decade or so. For over a century the only active ingredient in U.S. marijuana was THC, which we would now call "Sativa" strains (even though Cannabis Sativa is the proper name for hemp). Then OG Kush arrived in the late 1980s with the dominant terpene being Myrcene, and within 10 years it was bred into almost all U.S. strains creating "Indica dominant" hybrids that made up 90% of the U.S. market by 1999.

     Around 2010 what has come to be known as the Cookie Collective in San Francisco California bred South African Durban Poison with around 1% THCV into OG Kush and another strain that they had apparently failed to track the lineage of, and created the strain called Girl Scout Cookies, now called just GSC for obvious reasons. While Durban Poison had 1% THCV, GSC had 2% - 4% THCV, indicating that it was the main active ingredient that they were breeding for.

     The V stands for Varin, which turned out to be a miracle drug. Any amount of THCV over 1% in a dried flower will cancel the couch lock caused by Myrcene in Indica dominant strains, and will reduce dry mouth and suppress appetite and cravings caused by THC. Dubbed the "skinny weed" it has been bred into many U.S. strains, and is usually the reason that a modern strain is referred to as, "Sativa dominant," due to the presence of some THCV. Through breeding, a strain called Doug's Varin was created that had equal amounts of THC to THCV, a ratio of 1:1 indicating that there was an entire allele now for THCV.

     Then in 2021 they did the same thing with hemp and CBD. They identified a strain of hemp with some CBDV, and through generations of breeding created a strain of hemp called, "Forbidden V," with a 1:1 ratio of CBD:CBDV, again, indicating that they had bred up an entire allele for CBDV. Also in 2021 a Colorado company ran a NIH co-sponsored weight-loss study on 125 test subjects with controls and a placebo group. The results were astonishing.

     Normally when compared against placebos there is something called the placebo effect, where you have to show that your drug works better than the placebo. In this case, since they told the participants that they didn't have to exercise and that they could eat whatever they wanted, those in the placebo group all gained some weight. In stark contrast, those taking a CBDV supplement reported 61% less appetite and 40% less cravings, and on average lost 10 pounds in only 3 months. In addition they reported three times more deep sleep, and that their anxiety was reduced by half.

     TrimVana is their product, but they are selling it in the same scammy way as products that don't work, selling on Amazon for $120 for 60 pills, when they will really sell it to you for $60 if you just try to change your subscription from 1 box a month to 1 box every 2 months. Why? As a first-to-market miracle pill that promises weight loss with no diet or exercise that is backed by a NIH study, why market it in a scammy way? Plus they have only 15 reviews on Amazon with average 3.2 stars and people saying that it doesn't work, and the ones that leave an actual review are all clearly bodybuilders trying to get rid of a few pounds to show off their six pack. That is not what the NIH backed study showed it could do.

     With well over 40% of the United States being obese, CBDV could be a Godsend. Ask any doctor and they will tell you that dropping an average 10 lb can make an enormous positive difference in your health when it comes to heart disease, lung disease, cancer and diabetes. In fact, the most astonishing thing about the NIH endorsed TrimVana study was that all 37 pre-diabetics that took the CBDV lowered their A1C into the normal range after only 3 months, while none of the placebo group did. TrimVana is a panacea, or cure for all things. Since Varins have also been studied for their use in mental clarity and focus, CBDV can potentially replace ADHD medication, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medication, diet pills, and type 2 diabetes medication, all without any reported negative side effects. Certainly that is worth $60 a month.

     In Michigan you can buy, "Made By A Farmer," brand CBDV gummies from dispensaries or provisionary centers that appear to have the same main active ingredient in the same dose quantities as the TrimVana product, and they sell 10 packs for $18 without the hassle of signing up for trials, or giving your credit card number. Each gummy has 50 mg full spectrum organic cannabinoids with 15 mg CBDV as the active ingredient, which should match up exactly with the TrimVana product. Three packs of 10 CBDV gummies would be a 1 month supply, and would cost $55 a month. Most states that have legal marijuana in some way either medically or recreationally should be producing a CBDV product, and because CBD is legal in all 50 states it could be produced in any U.S. state, and TrimVana can be shipped to any state.

     There are two ratios worth talking about here since THCV and CBDV are new, they're being discussed because they have been bred up to the level of having their own allele. Human genes have two alleles and we have what's called dominant and recessive genes, like blue or brown eyes, but marijuana has co-dominant genes, so hemp has 2 alleles for CBD, marijuana has two alleles for THC, and crosses like the famous Harlequin strain have one allele for THC and one allele for CBD, and can have up to 10% THC and 10% CBD. Now Doug's Varin could have up to 10% THC and 10% THCV, and Forbidden V could have up to 10% CBD and 10% CBDV.

     In addition, there is the legal definition of marijuana vs hemp in the United States, where hemp is defined as any finished flowering plant in the Cannabis family that has less than 0.3% total THC in the dried flower, it doesn't matter if it's THC or THCV. Because hemp and marijuana are actually the exact same plant, if you cross them you get something like Mendel's peas, with 25% hemp, 25% marijuana, and 50% plants like Harlequin in the first generation of hybrids. All hemp plants have some THC, and all marijuana plants have some CBD, the Indica drug-type plants range from 15:1 THC:CBD to 45:1 THC:CBD, and Sativa drug-type plants range from 45:1 THC:CBD to 120:1 THC:CBD.

     Either way all CBD products other than the one that is extracted from only the stems of hemp plants will make you fail a sensitive drug test for marijuana due to trace amounts of THC found in whole plant extracts, and both the TrimVana and Made By a Farmer products say that they are whole plant extracts, so they both contain some THC and THCV. The strain Forbidden V is cited as having a 45:1 ratio of total CBD to total THC, and this is likely the strain used in TrimVana, while the Made By a Farmer product shows that it has 15 mg of CBDV and 1 mg of THCV out of 50 mg total cannabinoids, which is a 15:1 ratio, and there should also be 15 mg of CBD and 1 mg of THC, which is 3 times as much THC/THCV as in TrimVana and likely means that they are not using Forbidden V.

     At a 15:1 ratio of total CBD and CBDV to total THC and THCV the Made By a Farmer gummies are not made from hemp according to the U.S. Federal government's definition of hemp, by legal definition they are made from marijuana, because the dried cannabis flowers used to make them contained way over 0.3% total THC and THCV. That's not enough to make anyone high, but it is enough to fail drug tests and to make it illegal to ship across state lines in the United States. TrimVana claims to be the only CBDV product that is extracted from legally defined hemp, and their NIH study was in 2021 the same year that Forbidden V became available.

     The breeders of Forbidden V are Oregon CBD Genetics, and they are aware of the legal definition of hemp, because they advise testing during flowering to determine the harvest time to prevent crossing the 0.3% THC threshold in the dried flowers. So I believe TrimVana when they say that they are the only CBDV product that is legal to be shipped across state lines to every state in the United States. However, TrimVana will still make someone fail a drug test for THC due to being a whole plant extract, but they say that after two weeks of not using the product you should be able to pass a drug test, which works out perfectly with giving a two week notice before starting a new job.
