If you’ve followed most blogs on cannabis in the last several years, you probably would have heard of the “entourage effect.”
The entourage effect refers to the synergistic benefits of mixing different chemical components present in cannabis.
The combination of CBD/THC with other terpenes is the most prevalent example.
Before we dive too far into information on the entourage effect, let’s go through some basic concepts that assist identify Terpenes and cannabis’s chemical properties.
Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids react with the Endocannabinoid System. ECS is a system made up of both endocannabinoids and receptors present all through the body that controls a variety of processes such as sleep, appetite, and pain.
THC is a psychotropic and stimulating substance. The cannabinoid is responsible for the high sensation that several cannabis users get after inhaling or swallowing the plant.
CBD has no psychoactive properties. This explains why CBD is becoming more acceptable in the health sector, as most people who choose to utilize cannabis for medical uses don’t want to get high.
Terpenes
Terpenes are the compounds that are involved in the wide diversity of scents.
Terpenes are fragrant flavor chemicals that can be produced in a wide range of herbs, fruits, plants, and seasonings.
Terpenes are produced in trichomes of the cannabis plant. Their smell is said to secure the cannabis plant by preventing and controlling predators.
Now, let’s dive into the main subject: What Is the Entourage Effect and How Does It Work?
Cannabinoids and terpenes have been shown to have distinct effects personally. What if you combine terpenes and cannabinoids, or mix various cannabinoids with terpenes?
When THC and CBD are combined, the effects of both CBD and THC are amplified. The entourage effect occur when CBD and THC combine together and terpenes to provide a synergistic effect.
You could be curious to know just what terpenes and cannabinoids mixture is perfect for the treatment of a particular illness. However, study on the environmental influence has only just begun because of centuries of ban and discrimination against cannabis.
Terpenes and the Entourage Effect
Due to the fact that each terpene has a particular chemical property, each one has a unique set of actions. Since most cannabis varieties include a range of terpenes, determining which terpene-cannabinoid combinations that trigger a terpene entourage effect is extremely difficult.
