Marijuana products come in an extensive range of ingestion methods and provide a variation in terpenes, cannabinoids and other desirable plant compounds.
- Terpenes are located in every strain of cannabis. They are responsible for smells and flavors.
- Cannabinoids are chemical compounds specific to cannabis that interact with cell receptors throughout the endocannabinoid system (ECS) to produce an array of therapeutic and pleasurable effects.
- The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological structure found in the brain and body that works to manage and balance essential functions, including appetite, anxiety, memory, reproduction, pain perception, metabolism and more.
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the most common cannabinoid in the cannabis plant and behind the “high” effect. It secures nerve receptors in the brain and throughout the body and offers a potent treatment for those suffering from chronic pain, inflammation and sleep disorders.
- CBD (Cannabidiol) is earning acceptance and popularity for its potential medicinal and therapeutic effects. It is non-psychoactive and used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and more.
- Indica strains bring on feelings of relaxation and a stronger high that affects the whole body. They’re often sought out for pain relief and to induce sleep.
- Sativa strains usually offer uplifting and energizing sensations, focusing more on both mind and body. They are most commonly used for creativity-enhancing effects.
- Hybrid strains include indica and sativa features, with effects falling in-between. They may provide a perfect balance of energizing and calming effects or emphasize one end of the spectrum or the other, depending on whether the hybrid is sativa-dominant or indica-dominant.
