The cannabis plant has been cultivated for thousands of years for medicinal, recreational, and religious purposes. The plant can be grown indoors or outdoors, with strains often referred to as sativas, indicas, or hybrids. Indicas are typically associated with body-specific, relaxing effects, while sativas are described as cerebral and energizing. Cross-breeding of indica and sativa strains has created thousands of hybrid strains, each with unique properties.
The effects of a cannabis strain are not reliant on its categorization but have more to do with its cannabinoid and terpenes content. The experience will vary depending on your own body, the chemical profile of the strain, and numerous factors. The two most well-known cannabinoids are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). There are over 100 different cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant.
Terpenes are what give cannabis that strong aroma. These aromatic oils provide a distinctive taste and most likely play a role in the strain’s effects and benefits. Terpenes are believed to interact with cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, to enhance or balance effects. The interaction of cannabinoids with each other and with terpenes is called the Entourage Effect.
The human body’s endocannabinoid system is made up of CB1 and CB2 receptors that respond to the active chemical compounds of cannabis in unique ways. Along with choosing from a wide selection of strains, the consumption method significantly influences the intensity, onset, and duration of effects.
