Cannabis strains are different variations of genetic profiles. They often have creative names, like “Durban Poison” or “Pineapple Express”, and have their own cannabinoid and terpene profiles that cause certain effects. Currently, many cannabis companies have lumped strains into three categories – like “indica” (restful), “sativa” (alert), or “hybrid” (balanced). This is a very general concept since the best way to anticipate how you’ll feel is by knowing what that strain is composed of. THC and CBD potency is a good place to start!
The truth is that every individual has unique body systems that cannabis can affect slightly differently. Although there are general common effects that you can expect, there are additional variables to consider that can affect your experience. Cannabis composition
– What cannabinoids and terpenes are present, and in what levels. Delivery method – How cannabis is consumed can change the onset and duration times. How are CBD and THC different? Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the two most prevalent chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. Although they are both cannabinoids, they produce different effects. The biggest of these differences is that THC is psychoactive, whereas CBD is considered non-intoxicating.
The aroma of cannabis flower can be attributed to its unique terpene (terpenoid) profile. Terpenes are essential oils that occur naturally in plants, trees and flowers. Throughout the growth cycle, terpenes act as a defense mechanism that deter and/or attract certain insects and animals. Once the cannabis flower is dried, cured or chemically altered, these terpenes become denatured by oxidation and are then called terpenoids. These terpenoids give off specific aromas and some cannabis strains have even become known for their unique smells.
