Cannabis use has exploded and people are now much more aware of THC and its powerful benefits.
CBD use has also sky-rocketed. As a non-psychoactive and more family-friendly alternative, CBD has found its way from being the niche remedy of OG stoners to becoming something that millions of people use on a daily basis to help manage their pain, sleep, anxiety, and other issues.
Overall, people are now much more educated on the benefits of THC and CBD.
Beyond THC & CBD
While public awareness is growing, there’s still much more to learn around the benefits of cannabis and other synergistic plant compounds.
For instance, did you know that THC and CBD are just 2 of more than 100 different cannabinoids?
All animals have an “endocannabinoid system” or “ECS”, and all animals naturally produce cannabinoids. The cannabinoids we make in our bodies interact with the ECS to help regulate our pain, inflammation, immune systems, mood and thinking. Supplementing with plant-based cannabinoids, gives us the tools to help maintain constant homeostasis, that is balance in our bodies.
While CBD and THC are most common, there’s cannabinoids like CBDV, CBG, THCV, CBN, CBC, and etc. Each cannabinoid has its own unique benefits which you might not get only having CBD and THC.
CBG may have powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which could benefit issues such as IBS, colitis and acne. CBDV may be highly effective as an anti-acne skincare agent and could have powerful neuroprotective effects for those suffering from nausea or epilepsy. THCV, a rare and exclusive cannabinoid, might be a more powerful anti-inflammatory agent than CBD. THCV may also be a greater anxiety suppressant, in addition to potential benefits for weight-loss while also boosting mental clarity.
When we eat food, we eat for the whole variety of vitamins and nutrients, for the most complete range of benefits. We don’t aim to have just one vitamin. It’s the same with cannabinoids! A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle means having the whole variety of cannabinoids for the greatest range of benefits.
Synergize With Terpenes
In addition to cannabinoids, there are many plant compounds that may modulate and enhance the effects of cannabinoids.
Terpenes are responsible for the taste and smell of plants like fruits, vegetables and flowers. In cannabis, they’re what distinguishes each strain from the other. Terpenes are why Lemon Kush taste and smells like Lemon, and why Strawberry Haze tastes and smells like strawberries. Terpenes are naturally produced in plants and may have direct, synergistic benefits when taken with cannabinoids.
Where can you get some? Three common terpenes include caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene, which you can find in about any kitchen.
Caryophyllene is found in herbs and spices like black pepper, basil, oregano and of course in cannabis. It’s that spicy, powerful scent that gives food a kick. Caryophyllene has been suggested to have anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Limonene is responsible for the distinct, citrus smell in fruits like lemons, oranges and limes and veg’ like in strains such as Lemon Haze. Limonene has been suggested to have anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, pain-relief, relaxative and antioxidant effects.
Myrcene is responsible for the sweet, tangy smell of fruits like mangoes and nectarines, and the scent in strains like Blue Dream and Sour Diesel. Myrcene can also be found in plants like bay leaves, hops, lemon grass, basil and rosemary. Myrcene has the synergistic effect of enhancing and strengthening the effect of THC, as it “allows more THC to reach brain cells.” Myrcene has also been suggested to have anti-pain, anti-inflammatory and sleep benefits.
