You’ll find that cannabis products are typically categorized as indica, sativa, or hybrids. Widespread cross-breeding has led strains targeted at specific effects, curative properties, and high-THC potency. While the general belief is the indicas are more of a body high and sativas provide a cerebral high, the effects of a strain aren’t decided by the category. The interaction of terpene and cannabinoids with each other and your body are some of the deciding factors.
The most abundant, well-known, and researched cannabinoids are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). There are over 100 different cannabinoids and each creates specific effects on the human body. Terpenes are responsible for the unique smell and taste of cannabis. They also interact with cannabinoids, intensify or balance effects and influence the therapeutic rewards. This is known as the entourage effect.
