The Hidden Healers in Your Cannabis

When most people think about cannabis, they immediately focus on THC and CBD. However, there’s a fascinating world of therapeutic compounds called terpenes that deserves our attention.

At P37 Cannabis on Coors Blvd, we’re often asked about these aromatic molecules that give cannabis its distinctive smell and contribute to its healing properties. Let’s explore the most common terpenes and their potential health benefits:

Common Cannabis Terpenes

• Myrcene: Known for its sedative properties and earthy aroma
• Limonene: Offers mood-elevating effects and citrus scents
• Pinene: Promotes alertness and carries a fresh pine fragrance
• Linalool: Provides anxiety relief with floral notes
• Beta-caryophyllene: Offers anti-inflammatory properties with a spicy profile

These natural compounds work synergistically with cannabinoids in what’s known as the “entourage effect,” enhancing the overall therapeutic potential of cannabis. Research suggests that terpenes may help with:

• Stress reduction
• Sleep improvement
• Pain management
• Inflammation control
• Mood enhancement

Understanding terpene profiles can help you choose the right cannabis products for your specific needs. Next time you visit our dispensary, ask our knowledgeable staff about terpene profiles in our various strains – they’ll be happy to guide you toward the best options for your desired effects.

Remember, while terpenes offer promising benefits, it’s always wise to consult with healthcare professionals about incorporating cannabis into your wellness routine.
