Have you ever heard of the “entourage effect” in the cannabis world? It’s a fascinating concept that adds to the overall experience and benefits of using cannabis. A very short and interesting read on why Fusion Hippie has created our Blends with this effect in mind.
First off, let’s talk about the two main compounds found in the cannabis plant: cannabinoids and terpenes. Cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, are the chemical compounds responsible for the euphoric and therapeutic effects of the plant. On the other hand, terpenes are the aromatic oils responsible for the unique tastes and smells of different strains.
Now, the entourage effect is the idea that when cannabinoids and terpenes work together, they create a synergistic effect that is more significant and beneficial than what they could achieve separately. To put it simply, the entourage effect is like teamwork – when everyone works together, they accomplish more than they could alone. Furthermore, the more team members (cannabinoids) involved in the process, the stronger the entourage effect is.
For example, let’s say you use a THC vape pen that includes specific terpenes. The terpenes affect the effects of THC in different ways, potentially enhancing the high or unleashing other beneficial properties. Many terpenes are found to have therapeutic effects on their own, such as reducing anxiety or inflammation. When combined with THC, these terpenes work together to create an even more comprehensive and beneficial cannabis experience.
The entourage effect is why many people prefer whole-plant extracts or products that include both cannabinoids and terpenes together, rather than isolated compounds. By using whole-plant extracts, you tap into the full range of benefits and experience a more complete cannabis high.
Summing things up, the entourage effect is all about the enhanced experience you can get when the cannabinoids and terpenes in the cannabis plant work together. The effects of THC are amplified, and added therapeutic properties are unlocked when using Fusion Hippie products, because we craft full spectrum cannabinoids and terpenes together. It’s a beautiful thing to experience, and it’s one of the reasons why cannabis is such a beloved plant!
