=== Length === Most classical cannabinoids are 21-carbon compounds. However, some do not follow this rule, primarily because of variation in the length of the [[Side chain|side-chain]] attached to the [[aromatic hydrocarbon|aromatic]] ring. In THC, CBD, and CBN, this side-chain is a pentyl (5-carbon) chain. In the most common homologue, the pentyl chain is replaced with a propyl (3-carbon) chain. Cannabinoids with the propyl side chain are named using the suffix ''varin'' and are designated THCV, CBDV, or CBNV, while those with the heptyl side chain are named using the suffix ''phorol'' and are designated THCP and CBDP.
