Terpenes play a crucial role in shaping the plant's potent effects. Different terpene profiles lead to various effects on the body. The most commonly known terpenes are limonene, myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene, linalool, and humulene. The most common terpene-cannabinoid interaction is the entourage effect. The latter is the result of the synergistic interaction between cannabinoids and terpenes, creating a more potent effect than individual components. Identifying cultivars that have the same terpene profiles and similar entourage effects could lead to tailored medical treatments specific to their symptoms.
Cannabinoids, on the other hand, are responsible for the plant's psychoactive effects. There are over 100 cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, the most famous being THC and CBD. The interaction between these two cannabinoids leads to a range of effects on the body, making it essential to understand how different cultivars with varying ratios of THC and CBD will affect different people's symptoms.
There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that cultivar commonalities have the potential to improve symptom management. For instance, cultivars high in beta-caryophyllene demonstrated promise in managing inflammation, oxidative stress, and anxiety. These cultivars contain high terpene profiles and minimal THC, making them a preferred choice of treatment for people managing chronic inflammation and related illnesses. Similarly, cultivars high in limonene and myrcene showed potential in managing anxiety and stress-related disorders. These cultivars are popular among people who need relief from stress, anxiety, and neurological conditions.
As we delve deeper into the science of this fascinating plant, we can expect to encounter more cultivars with similar medicinal properties. With advancements in cultivation techniques and breeding, we can get tailor-made cultivars that match specific needs.
Conclusion:
Identifying cultivar commonalities that provide optimal results for specific symptoms will undoubtedly continue to gain significance as we explore more about the cannabis plant. By using these commonalities, we can expect more tailored and targeted treatments that address different people's specific needs. This effort will drive research and publication of peer-reviewed studies towards a more informed medical cannabis policy. As a cannabis delivery company, we are glad to be part of this change as we work to provide our customers with cultivars tailored to their needs.
