Medical marijuana testing high in Myrcene (usually above 0.5%) typically results in the well-known ‘couch-lock’ effect of classic Indica-dominant strains.

By mapping out terpene profiles for a given batch of medical marijuana, we are able to predict and even manipulate the effects and medicinal value of varieties, giving breeders endless opportunities for developing new strains by basing breeding decisions on real analytical data. The more we are able to communicate using the same language, the easier it for everyone to understand clearly what medicine they are getting.

Myrcene, specifically β-myrcene, is the most common terpene found in cannabis today (some varieties contain up to 60% of the essential oil).

Caryophyllene is the only terpene known to interact with the endocannabinoid system (CB2). Research shows shows that β–caryophyllene selectively binds to the CB2 receptor and that it is a functional CB2 agonist. Further, β–caryophyllene was identified as a functional non-psychoactive CB2 receptor ligand in foodstuff and as a macrocyclic anti-inflammatory cannabinoid in cannabis.

Flavonoids are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health benefits, as well as their contribution of vibrant color to the many of the foods we eat (the blue in blueberries or the red in raspberries).

Flavonoids are one of the largest nutrient families known to scientists, and include over 6,000 already-identified family members. About 20 of these compounds, including apigenin, quercetin, cannflavin A and B (so far unique to cannabis), β-sitosterol, vitexin, isovitexin, kaempferol, luteolin and orientin have been identified in the Cannabis plant.

In a study by Casano et al, OG strains have relatively higher levels of α-terpineol, fenchol, limonene, camphene, terpinolene and linalool; whereas, Kush strains are characterized mainly by the compounds trans-ocimene, guaiol, β-eudesmol, myrcene and α-pinene.

Good evidence shows that a strain name is not a clear indicator of chemical composition in a given cut of medical marijuana, thus it cannot be used as an indication of potency. THC content can vary greatly strain by strain and even in batches with the same strain name. In some cases, the level of THC can be 5 times higher in the highest sample compared to the lowest sample, most likely as a result of cultivation conditions and slight genetic differences.
