Cannabifuran (CBF)

CBF is one of those cannabinoids that makes the internet act feral. The chemistry is real. The “guaranteed effects” posts are not. This page locks in what can be verified, flags what is still unknown, and gives practical vaporizer notes that do not depend on fantasy data.

CBF quick summary

Cannabifuran (CBF) is a rare, minor cannabinoid related compound listed in chemical reference catalogs and reported in cannabis chemistry literature. What’s strong: identifiers, structure class, and basic properties. What’s weak: validated human effects and consumer dosing guidance.

Why it matters It shows how wide cannabis chemistry really is, beyond the usual THC and CBD conversation.
What to ignore Absolute claims about effects. Most public claims are not backed by solid clinical evidence.
Best use of this page Use it as an identity card: what CBF is, how it is referenced, and what we can safely say.

Verified chemical information

These are identifiers that show up consistently across major chemical reference sources.

  • Name: Cannabifuran Common abbreviation: CBF
  • Molecular formula: C21H26O2 Listed in major chemical databases.
  • Molecular weight: 310.43 g/mol Reference value used in chemical catalogs.
  • CAS number: 56154-58-6 Useful for confirming you are looking at the same compound across suppliers and databases.
  • PubChem CID: 9966466 Primary open reference record for structure and identifiers.
  • InChIKey: VNGQMWZHHNCMLQ-UHFFFAOYSA-N Fast “fingerprint” used to match structures across resources.
If a website talks about CBF but cannot provide identifiers (CAS, PubChem, or InChIKey), it is probably selling vibes instead of facts.

What is known vs unknown

What is known

  • CBF is a real, cataloged chemical entity with consistent identifiers across reputable chemical references.
  • CBF is discussed in cannabis chemistry literature and appears in analytical contexts and catalogs.
  • CBF is considered rare in typical consumer cannabis products and appears more often as a “trace or specialized chemistry” topic.

What is not known (or not proven publicly)

  • Validated human effects: there is not a robust public clinical evidence base for specific outcomes.
  • Clean dosing guidance: anything online that reads like a supplement label is usually guessing.
  • A single true vaporization point: consumer-facing “CBF boils at X°F” claims should be treated as unverified.

Practical vaporizer notes

CBF is not something most people isolate and target. In real life, it is more relevant as part of the broader chemical profile of flower or extracts. If your goal is a cleaner session, the best move is controlling heat and avoiding ignition.

  • Use a stepped session: start lower, then climb if needed. This avoids scorching flavor early and keeps the session consistent.
  • Do not chase a fake “CBF temp”: there is no reliable single temperature published specifically for CBF that applies to real-world flower sessions.
  • Control matters: a stable desktop vaporizer makes this easier than a “random hot tube of regret.”

Suggested stepped session (general flower strategy)

  • Warm-up / early extraction: 365–375°F
  • Main session: 385–400°F
  • Finish (only if needed): 405–410°F

Faq

What is cannabifuran (CBF)?

Cannabifuran (CBF) is a rare, minor cannabinoid related compound cataloged in chemical databases. Public information is strongest on chemical identity and weakest on validated human effects.

What is the molecular formula of CBF?

CBF is commonly listed as C21H26O2 in major chemical reference sources.

Is CBF the same as THC or CBD?

No. It is a distinct compound. Do not assume effects transfer just because the word “cannabinoid” appears nearby.

Is there a known single vaporizing temperature for CBF?

Not reliably, not publicly, not in a way that maps cleanly onto real flower sessions. Use a stepped session strategy and focus on consistent extraction instead of chasing a single number.
