Cannabis
Hybrid
Farmers and producers select hybrids for their unique impacts. They can range from reducing anxiety and stress to easing symptoms of chemotherapy or radiation. Daytime or nighttime use: This depends on the predominant effects of the hybrid.
Testing is not just about analyzing for traces of cannabinoids or terpenes. It’s just as much about determining a plant’s strain type. Most people with a basic familiarity of marijuana know the plant is categorized mainly into two strains: sativa and indica. Nowadays, due to years of crossbreeding by growers, most strains are hardly purely one or the other. Learn more about hybrid strains and why they are part of the key to effective medical cannabis usage. Hybrid strain analysis is one of the many facets we test for at Modern Cann
Indica
Traditionally, indica strains are associated with more of a body high that makes you feel relaxed. They're often recommended for people seeking strains to help with pain, insomnia, nausea, or poor appetite. While plenty of indica strains might produce these effects, strains aren't an exact science
Five of the terpenes found most prominently in Indica strains are Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Linalool, Limonene, and Humulene.
Humulene contributes a spicy, herbaceous, or woody taste, reminiscent of a beer high in hops. It also contributes to the hoppy smell and taste of certain craft beers. Humulene has analgesic (painkilling), anti-inflammatory, and mild sedative effects.
The therapeutic effects of limonene have been extensively studied, proving anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antinociceptive, anticancer, antidiabetic, antihyperalgesic, antiviral, and gastroprotective effects, among other beneficial effects
Due to its unique ability to bind with CB2 receptors, Beta-caryophyllene has potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. It is known to help relieve anxiety and pain, reduce cholesterol, prevent Osteoporosis, and treat seizures
Myrcene can increase barbiturate sleeping time, demonstrating the terpene's probabilities as a sedative. In high amounts, they may sedate and decrease locomotion. Anti-inflammatory effects: researchers found that Myrcene had anti-inflammatory properties on the cells while it slows damage and disease progression.
Sativa
Sativas are known for their “head high,” an invigorating, energizing effect that can help reduce anxiety or stress and increase creativity and focus. Indicas are typically associated with full-body effects, such as increasing deep relaxation and reducing insomnia
These terpenes were selected based on their quantities in Cannabis sativa, with α-Humulene, β-Pinene, Linalool, and β-Caryophyllene all being found in higher quantities and Geraniol in lower to underdetermined quantities.
Due to its unique ability to bind with CB2 receptors, Beta-caryophyllene has potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. It is known to help relieve anxiety and pain, reduce cholesterol, prevent Osteoporosis, and treat seizures.
Linalool is a powerful terpene due to its effect on the serotonin receptor. It helps treats conditions such as anxiety and depression and can help to combat insomnia. Its medicinal properties could also help treat several types of cancer.
Humulene contributes a spicy, herbaceous, or woody taste, reminiscent of a beer high in hops. It also contributes to the hoppy smell and taste of certain craft beers. Humulene has analgesic (painkilling), anti-inflammatory, and mild sedative effects
Just like a-pinene, beta-pinene has been shown by researchers to be an effective anti-inflammatory, a bronchodilator, pain reliever, anxiety-reliever, and even a tool to battle short-term memory impairment. While there are some slight differences between the two, both positively affect our overall health.
