- Endocannabinoid system – The human body includes an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that naturally produces cannabinoids and sends signals to a network of receptors to achieve and maintain homeostasis.
- Cannabinoids – Naturally occurring chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant, including THC and CBD, mimic those created by the body to influence mood, sleep, pain, inflammation, anxiety and more.
- Indica – Although indica is more about the appearance of the plant than the effects, these strains are known for relaxation and full-body effects.
- Sativa – The term refers to the origin of the plant rather than effects, but these strains tend to provide a cerebral high and energizing effects.
- Hybrids – With the parent plants determining the effects, hybrids can be sativa-dominant, indica-dominant or an equal ratio.
- THC – The main psychoactive compound provided by the cannabis plant, THC is responsible for the “high” sensation.
- CBD – The second most abundant compound found in the cannabis plant, CBD is non-euphoric and gaining popularity for curative potential.
- Terpenes – Naturally occurring chemical compounds found in plants, the terpenes are responsible for the distinct smell, flavors and can influence the effects of cannabis consumption.
- Trichomes – The tiny crystals coating the outside of the flower contain the terpenes and cannabinoids that determine the unique aroma, flavor, and potency.
