Cannabis is available in various strains, each with distinct characteristics. Indicas are often associated with relaxation and a sense of tranquility while sativas are linked to creativity and energy. Hybrids combine traits of the parent plants for a very customized experience. While these categories assist in determining the right strain for your needs, terpenes and cannabinoids play an essential role.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds that contribute to flavor, aroma, and overall effects. They are responsible for the fresh, citrusy notes in lemons, the calming scent of lavender, and the piney aroma of certain cannabis strains. In cannabis, terpenes not only contribute to the plant’s unique aroma but also play a role in shaping the overall experience of different strains.

Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant. Cannabis contains more than 100 cannabinoids, with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) being the most well-known.

THC creates the psychoactive effects of cannabis, while CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that works in concert with THC to deliver unique effects particular to each strain. When cannabis is consumed, cannabinoids bind to a network of receptors in the human body that make up the endocannabinoid system (ECS). CB1 and CB2 receptors influence various physiological processes, including mood, sleep, appetite, pain perception, and focus.
