True terpenes
True Terpenes are natural compounds found in different herbs like chamomile, mint, and how not, the medicinal cannabis.
Terpenes together with Cannabinoids (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) making a big Bazz, scientists have begun to show a growing interest in their research.
The understanding of natural true terpenes opens up new levels of research on the effects of marijuana or cannabis, which translates into new research opportunities for growers and seed banks.
Smoking true terpenes in herbal cigarettes and herbal smoking blends became a popular thing thanks to its medicinal properties.
What Are True Terpenes?
True Terpenes are biomolecules made up of multiples of the isoprene unit (also known as isoprenoids\terpenoid) and can be linear, cyclic, or both.
When terpenes are modified with specific reactions that lead to the formation of functional groups that have atoms other than carbon, such as hydroxyl groups, carbonyls, or that have nitrogen, are called terpenes.
Natural True Terpenes are produced by several plants, especially conifers, and are the main ingredients of essential oils and resins, mixtures of substances that give each flower or plant a very characteristic smell.
Plants produce terpene molecules in their resin, for the purpose of deterring predators and attracting the attention of pollinators.
Aromatherapy uses natural true terpenes for the therapeutic goal of regulating temperament, solving sleep problems, improving overall health, and much more.
Terpenoid v.s Terpenes
Terpenes and terpenoids are terms used interchangeably.
The only difference between true terpenes and terpenoids is that true terpenes are considered organic hydrocarbons.
Terpenoids have additional atoms that have experienced oxidation. This happens when cannabis has been cured and dried.
You can think of terpenes as “wet”, while terpenoids are “dried out”.
How Do They (Terpenes) Work?
Cannabis true terpenes are formed from the very same glands that make up THC and CBD.
Some studies reveal that there is a synergy between true terpenes and cannabinoids.
The first ones conform to the same cannabis receptors that we have in the brain, and that alter the chemical effect that they produce on our body.
However, not all cannabis terpenes work similarly.
Some influence the brain and produce a calm mood, while others have the converse effect, like raising our energy levels and mood.
Did you know that consuming a ripe mango a while before smoking enhances the psychoactive and relying effects?
The theory is that mango has myrcene, a terpene that you can find only in certain fruits. Myrcene works in synergy with THC and alters its effect.
