Cannabinoids are the natural compounds found in cannabis that influence how each product may make you feel—from calm and balanced to uplifted, relaxed, or ready for rest. Whether you’re new to cannabis or already familiar with it, understanding how cannabinoids work can help you choose products that better align with your lifestyle and goals.
At SoundView, cannabinoids are the foundation of everything we create. Every product format is thoughtfully formulated using specific cannabinoid ratios to deliver purposeful, consistent effects—so you can choose with confidence, no matter how you prefer to consume.
Let’s break down the most important cannabinoids, how they interact with your body, and how SoundView uses them across our full product lineup.
What Are Cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant, often referred to as phytocannabinoids. These compounds interact with receptors in your body to potentially influence mood, sleep, appetite, pain perception, and relaxation.
Your body also produces its own cannabinoids, called endocannabinoids. Together with cannabinoid receptors, they make up the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a system responsible for helping maintain balance throughout the body.
When you consume cannabis—whether through an edible, infused beverage, or vape—plant-based cannabinoids like THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN interact with your ECS to shape your overall experience.
What Is the Entourage Effect?
The entourage effect describes how cannabinoids, terpenes, and other cannabis compounds work more effectively together than they do individually.
Instead of relying on a single compound, cannabis delivers its best results when these elements interact synergistically—creating effects that feel smoother, more balanced, and more intentional.
This principle guides how SoundView formulates products across every category. Whether it’s an edible, seltzer, or vape, we design our cannabinoid profiles to take full advantage of the entourage effect for a more complete experience.
The Most Important Cannabinoids to Know
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
THC is the most well-known cannabinoid and the primary source of cannabis’s psychoactive effects.
- Pain relief
- Muscle relaxation
- Nausea reduction
- Appetite stimulation
Across SoundView’s product lineup, THC is carefully calibrated and often paired with other cannabinoids to create experiences that feel approachable, controlled, and enjoyable—whether you’re sipping, savoring, or inhaling.
CBD (Cannabidiol)
CBD is non-psychoactive and widely known for its calming and balancing effects.
- Stress and anxiety
- Sleep quality
- Everyday aches and discomfort
CBD also helps balance THC, which is why SoundView incorporates it into select formulations across multiple product formats.
CBG (Cannabigerol)
CBG is often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid” because it’s the precursor to THC and CBD.
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Neuroprotective support
- Antimicrobial effects
In SoundView products, CBG enhances the effects of other cannabinoids through the entourage effect.
CBN (Cannabinol)
CBN forms as THC naturally ages and oxidizes and is most commonly associated with relaxation and rest.
- Relaxation and sleep
- Pain relief
- Anti-inflammatory benefits
SoundView uses CBN intentionally in products designed to help support rest and recovery.
