And how important is it to know what types and concentrations are present in cannabis before buying a product?<\/p>\n
Read on to learn what researchers have discovered so far.<\/p>\n
What terpenes are and what they are for<\/h3>\n
Terpenes are naturally occurring chemical compounds in plants and some animals. They are responsible for the aromas, flavors and even colors associated with various types of vegetation.\u00a0In cannabis, terpenes<\/strong>\u00a0are the element that makes the smell and taste distinctive traits of different strains.<\/p>\n
Some terpenes can also be transformed into products, such as cleaning solvents, pesticides and dyes, while others even possess different therapeutic properties.<\/p>\n
![\"What](\"https:\/\/www.justbob.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Terpene-Marihuana-Potenz.jpg\" "\\"the-terpenes-of-cannabis\\"")
<\/p>\nAlthough almost all plants contain terpenes, some of the most common sources where people encounter them are:<\/p>\n
- \n
- cannabis;<\/li>\n
- aromatic herbs such as sage and thyme;<\/li>\n
- citrus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Terpenes are believed to protect plants from the elements and predators. As for their effect on humans, it\u2019s still a bit of a mystery. But cannabis researchers and consumers increasingly look to terpenes as a way\u00a0to classify cannabis products<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and predict their effects.<\/p>\n
The main hypothesis is that the terpene profile of a variety (the dominant terpenes) works in tandem with the cannabinoid content to produce the effects that people associate with different varieties.<\/p>\n
For example, terpenes might explain why two different strains with the same THC level produce such different experiences.<\/p>\n
Although terpenes do not cause the sensation of \u2018high\u2019, some are considered psychoactive, because they affect the brain.<\/p>\n
Let me explain myself.<\/p>\n
Although terpenes are not intoxicating in themselves, there are those who think they can affect the effects of THC, the cannabinoid responsible for\u00a0the high feeling of cannabis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
For example, preliminary research suggests that some terpenes may have potential benefits for some mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Cannabinoids, terpenes and the entourage effect<\/h3>\n
THC and\u00a0CBD<\/a>\u00a0are only two of the more than one\u00a0hundred cannabinoids found in cannabis<\/strong>, however they are the two most abundant and most studied cannabinoids.<\/p>\n
Both cannabinoids and terpenes can give indications of what to expect from a CBD cannabis<\/a> product, but they are two different compounds.<\/p>\n
That said, they seem to interact with each other in what experts call the entourage effect.<\/p>\n
This is the hypothesis that the\u00a0full spectrum of cannabis<\/strong>, which includes all cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds, acts synergistically to produce the sensations and effects of cannabis.<\/p>\n
In other words, it is a hypothesis that a little bit of everything could have more benefits than a large amount of one thing.<\/p>\n
A 2010 study, for example, showed that a combination of CBD and THC was more effective for pain management than THC alone.<\/p>\n
In a 2018 study, breast cancer tumors in a Petri dish\u00a0responded better to a cannabis extract<\/strong>\u00a0than to pure THC alone. But it is believed that these synergistic effects are mainly attributed to other cannabinoids and not terpenes.<\/p>\n
This is important to consider if, for example, Cannabidiol<\/a> was used for therapeutic purposes.<\/p>\n
![\"These](\"https:\/\/www.justbob.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cannabis-Terpene.jpg\" "\\"Cannabis-Terpenes\\"")
<\/p>\nThese are the most common terpenes of cannabis<\/h3>\n
There are about four hundred known terpenes of cannabis<\/a>, but experts have linked only some of them to specific effects.<\/p>\n
Here are some common terpenes and their potential effects:<\/p>\n
- \n
- beta-pinene<\/strong>, with antidepressant and anticancer properties;<\/li>\n
- humulene<\/strong>, long used in folk medicine for its energizing effects.<\/li>\n
- beta-caryophyllene<\/strong>, also the main ingredient of cloves, rosemary and hops; it could be useful to manage the symptoms of anxiety and depression;<\/li>\n
- linalool<\/strong>, which can help relieve stress;<\/li>\n
- myrcene<\/strong>, also present in mango, has antifungal and antibacterial properties and could also have sedative effects.<\/li>\n
- limonene<\/strong>\u00a0has strong citrus notes and can potentially have anti-cancer properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
However, keep in mind that a lot of terpene research\u00a0is still in its early stages<\/strong>. Further high-quality human studies are needed to fully understand the impact of different terpene profiles on health.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Conclusion<\/h3>\n
Terpenes<\/strong>\u00a0play an important role in the\u00a0aroma and taste of a cannabis variety<\/strong>, and potentially work in synergy with cannabinoids and other cannabis plant compounds to produce psychoactive effects.<\/p>\n
But research on the more than\u00a0400 terpenes present in the plant<\/strong>\u00a0is still in its infancy, so it is difficult to make definitive statements about them.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that, in addition to cannabinoids and terpenes, physiology, previous\u00a0experiences with cannabis<\/strong>\u00a0and the environment in which cannabis is consumed can also affect sensations. Terpenes are only part of the equation, but they can be an interesting way to play with different products and find the one that best matches consumer tastes.<\/p>\n
