Introduction to Medical Cannabis
What are terpenes, and how do they affect medical cannabis?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that not only give it its unique smell but also influence its effects. They work alongside cannabinoids like THC and CBD to enhance therapeutic benefits.
Here are some key terpenes and their effects:
- Limonene: Uplifting, may help reduce anxiety and improve mood
- Myrcene: Relaxing, known for sedative and pain-relieving properties
- Pinene: Promotes focus and alertness while offering anti-inflammatory benefits
These compounds contribute to the entourage effect, where cannabinoids and terpenes work together to enhance the overall benefits of medical cannabis.
