DCBF – Dehydrocannabifuran

DCBF is one of those cannabinoids that lives in the real chemistry world, not the sticker-on-a-jar world. This page locks down what DCBF is, how to verify it, and how to think about it when you are vaporizing flower.

Formula: C21H24O2 Molar Mass: 308.41 g/mol CAS: 56154-59-7 PubChem CID: 59444381

What It Is

DCBF stands for dehydrocannabifuran, a low-abundance cannabis-related compound cataloged in chemical databases and used as an analytical reference standard. In plain English: it has verifiable identity anchors, and it sits in the broader cannabinoid chemistry family that includes furan-type cannabinoids.

If someone is selling DCBF as a guaranteed experience with precise effects, they are doing marketing, not chemistry.

Where It Shows Up

DCBF is commonly discussed as a rare constituent. Some references note it in cannabis-related materials and in reports connected to marijuana smoke condensate. That matters because it hints at formation pathways involving heat, oxygen, time, and conversion chemistry.

Category Minor phytocannabinoid-related compound (rare and low abundance)
Why It Appears Often discussed in chemical indexing and reference standard catalogs, plus conversion chemistry contexts.
Relationship Related to CBF-type furan cannabinoid chemistry, but not the same compound.
Reality Check Identity is easier to verify than effects. Start with identifiers.

If you want the CBF page for comparison: Cannabifuran (CBF).

Chemical Identity

These anchors are what keeps the internet honest. Or at least keeps it from lying as easily.

Biology And Research Notes

There is plenty of discussion about DCBF, and far less high-quality human research than the internet implies. What you can responsibly say is that DCBF is a characterized compound and the scientific conversation often stays in the realm of identification, synthesis, and early-stage biological screening, not clinical certainty.

  • Identity is well supported via database records and supplier reference standards.
  • Biology claims should be treated as preliminary unless they come from peer-reviewed, reproducible studies.
  • Do not confuse indexing with evidence. Being in PubChem is not the same as being proven in humans.
The strongest move is to separate: what it is (verifiable) vs what it does (usually not settled).

Vaporizing Notes

A single reliable consumer temperature specific to DCBF is not well established. If you are vaporizing flower, the practical play is a stepped session. You are extracting a profile, not hunting a single magic number.

Practical Stepped Session Strategy

  • Warm Up: 365 to 375°F
  • Main Extraction: 385 to 400°F
  • Finish Only If Needed: 405 to 410°F

Faq

Is DCBF The Same As CBF?

No. They are related by chemistry family, but they are different compounds. Verify by formula and PubChem record.

Does DCBF Have Proven Human Effects?

Human outcome evidence is limited compared with major cannabinoids. Treat strong claims as unverified unless supported by controlled human data.

Is There A Single Best Vaporizing Temperature For DCBF?

Not reliably. Use a stepped session so you stay consistent and avoid overheating early.
