CANNABINOIDS

Cannabinoids are a group of chemical compounds found in cannabis that interact with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS helps regulate various bodily functions, including appetite, mood, pain, and sleep. Some of the most well-known cannabinoids found in cannabis include:

  CBD: This is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. 

 THC: This is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis and is responsible for the plant's euphoric effects.  

 CBG: This cannabinoid is believed to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects  

Terpenes are a group of organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They contribute to the plant's aroma and flavor and may also have therapeutic effects. Some of the most common terpenes found in cannabis include: 

Limonene: This terpene has a citrusy aroma and may have anti-inflammatory and mood-boosting effects. 

Pinene: This terpene has a piney aroma and may have anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory effects. 

Myrcene: This terpene has an earthy aroma and may have sedative and analgesic effects. Combining 

Terpenes and Cannabinoids:  Terpenes and cannabinoids work together to produce the unique effects and benefits of different strains of cannabis. This is known as the "entourage effect." By understanding the different terpenes and cannabinoids found in cannabis, patients can choose strains that are best suited for their needs.  In addition to their potential therapeutic benefits, terpenes and cannabinoids can also contribute to the overall experience of consuming cannabis. Patients may find that certain strains with specific combinations of terpenes and cannabinoids are more enjoyable to use than others.  Overall, terpenes and cannabinoids are two important compounds found in cannabis that contribute to the plant's effects and benefits. By understanding these compounds, patients can make informed decisions about which strains to use for their specific needs.
