THCV
THCV (or Tetrahydrocannabivarin) is a naturally-occurring cannabinoid that is energizing, motivating, focusing. Think Sativa with no munchies or anxiety and less cognitive impairment.
Phylos Natural THCV Genetics
Phylos’ Natural THCV varieties, Get Sh!t Done (GSD), Joyride, and Powerhouse originated from a plant high in CBD and low in CBDV and THCV (varins). The plant had landrace characteristics such as a large plant stature and loose, airy, late-maturing flowers with low overall cannabinoid levels.
Through modern plant breeding techniques, our varin plant was crossed with plants showing more desirable characteristics — early maturing and robust stature — resulting in the first cannabis varieties with naturally-occurring high-THCV: GSD, Joyride, and Powerhouse.

THCV Clinical Study
GSD has the highest THCV potency potency on the market. Plus it’s the only variety with clinically-proven effects. In our IRB-approved, double-blind clinical research study on the effects of rare cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), the results of the study found that GSD significantly increased energy, activity, motivation, and well-being compared to placebo, without the fatigue and munchies associated with THC consumption.
