Terpenes are natural compounds found in cannabis that give each strain its unique aroma, flavor, and effects. Beyond scent and taste, terpenes also interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to enhance or modify their effects—a phenomenon known as the "entourage effect." Terpenes interact with the body's receptors and neurotransmitters giving a diverse range of physiological and therapeutic effects.
This occurs when cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD) and terpenes interact to enhance or modify cannabis’s overall effects. Instead of working alone, these compounds work together to create a more balanced, potent, or therapeutic experience. For example, CBD can reduce THC’s intensity, while terpenes like myrcene contribute to relaxation. This synergy explains why different cannabis strains produce unique effects beyond just THC or CBD levels.
Trying to decide which route will be the best option for your desired effect here is a breakdown on how ingestible products can differ from inhaling them.
Ingesting- Can take 45 minutes to 90 minutes to receive effects after ingesting but, you can feel the effects for up to 12 hours. Other effects include deep relaxation, pain relief, and enhanced euphoria, making it ideal for long-lasting relief from chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and stress. Perfect for those seeking a smoke-free cannabis experience. We always recommend starting low and slow with edibles being that you can't gauge your bodies reaction to them immediately for new users 2.5mg-5mg is a great place to start. You can achieve that by using one of our full spectrum gummies cut into halves or quarters.
Inhaling- Whether through smoking or vaping, inhaling cannabis delivers fast-acting effects as THC enters the bloodstream through the lungs. Users typically feel the effects within minutes, making it easier to control dosage and achieve an immediate high. Inhaled cannabis provides a more cerebral and short-lasting experience compared to edibles, making it ideal for quick relief from stress, pain, and anxiety. Perfect for those seeking instant effects with a more controlled duration.
Edibles take longer than flower or concentrates to take effect usually you will start to feel the effects anywhere from 45 minutes to 90 minutes after consuming depending on your metabolism.
Sativa-Known for their uplifting and energizing effects, Sativa strains enhance creativity, focus, and mood, making them perfect for daytime use. They provide a cerebral, euphoric high that boosts motivation while offering mild physical stimulation. Ideal for combating fatigue, depression, and creative blocks, Sativas are favored by those seeking an invigorating cannabis experience.
Indica-Celebrated for their deeply relaxing and sedative effects, Indica strains are perfect for unwinding after a long day. They deliver a calming body high that soothes muscles, relieves stress, and promotes restful sleep. Ideal for nighttime use, Indicas help with pain relief, anxiety, and insomnia, making them a go-to choice for total relaxation and tranquility.
Hybrid-Combining the best of both Sativa and Indica, hybrid strains offer a balanced experience tailored to different needs. Whether uplifting and creative or relaxing and soothing, hybrids provide a versatile range of effects. Perfect for any time of day, they can enhance mood, ease stress, and deliver a customized cannabis experience suited to your lifestyle.
