Terpenes in cannabis and hemp flower 🌿🌺🥭

Love 'em or not, they're about all we measure right now 🤷

theamazingflower.com/pages/terpenes
This is a color coded chart titled "the terpene spectrum". It includes the name, reported benefits, and boiling points for 25 different terpenes and terpenoids commonly found in cannabis and hemp flower. The colors range from red and orange at the top to blue and purple at the bottom. Red and orange represent more uplifting terpenes while blue and purple represent more calming terpenes.

Will you look at that? Only 2 naturally occurring cannabinoids have euphoric effects.

That means there are 17 cannabinoids with unique effects that don't get you high. We owe it to patients to study these more than we do.

Patients don't want to get high, they just want to get better 🤙

#Cannabis
A colorful graphical depiction of the natural cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway, or as we call it, the family tree. It shows that the acidic cannabinoids such as thca and cbda are converted to their neutral forms with the addition of heat light oxygen and time. After even more exposure to heat light oxygen and time, these neutral cannabinoids will convert to their oxidized forms. There are 17 naturally occurring cannabinoids that are NOT euphoric or psychotropic. Only two: Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC, have euphoric effects. The flowchart also shows that many cannabinoids can be made synthetically by adding catalyst chemicals. Most of these semi-synthetic cannabinoids are euphoric or psychotropic.

Kids: please read the ENTIRE question before you answer it 😄
A screen shot of a google AI overview: What form of cannabis has the longest shelf life? AI Overview Edibles provide the longest-lasting cannabis experience, with effects that can last for several hours to over half a day, compared to the shorter durations of inhalation methods like smoking or vaping. This prolonged effect is because cannabinoids need to go through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream, which takes more time.

Cannabis flower prices drop dramatically during the first few years of legalization.

$400 an oz just isn't sustainable for a mass (pun intended) market, industry peeps. Please don't build a business plan that requires it🙏 We need successful cannabis businesses 🤙

You're looking at the wrong profile. We don't sell or promote any cannabinoid products. This is our profile:

Often overlooked cannabis truth:

THC is a minor cannabinoid ro patients. They just want to feel better, not high.

There are LOTS of cannabinoids that don't get you high and have proven beneficial effects.

Crazy idea: let's focus on those for medicinal use 🌱🤙

There are 17 naturally occurring cannabinoids in this chart that are not psychotropic and do not get you high. There are only two that do get you high: Delta 9 THC and Delta 8 THC. The chart also shows some semi-synthetic cannabinoids that are developed through chemical processes in a laboratory by using CBD and some catalyst chemicals.

Surprising weed science note of the day:

The last half of a joint has the most cannabinoids, or is "stronger" 🌱💨

theamazingflower.com/blogs/articl...
A middle-aged black man with short white hair is wearing a red and blue plaid shirt and smoking the last 1/3 of a joint at a long wooden table at a coffee shop in Amsterdam. He is leaning back with his eyes closed and a large cloud of smoke is above his head. The caption at the bottom reads "the last half of the joint has more cannabinoids".

Kudos to Juan GanjaGod for creating this outstanding reference illustration of the female cannabis flower! Thank you sir, wherever you are 🤙
An illustration of a single Cannabis Pistillate Flower with all the major parts labeled. It shows the main green oval bract with two pink stigmas growing out. Inside the bract it shows that the stigmas are part of the pistil which also consists of the oval shaped ovule at the base of the extending stigmas. Separately are illustrations of four different types of trichomes, and a detail of the parts of the ovule (perianth, Corolla, calyx, micropyle, hilum, and crystolithic hairs). The stipule is shown as a green leaf like shoot emanating from the base of the bract. The image is by Urban Botanical Cannabis Art and Juan GanjaGod @ganjagod206

From the rather large list of cannabis' cannabinoids that don't get you high, but have promise for patients:

THCA

THCA is the direct parent of THC. It has one extra carboxyl group (circled in blue) that keeps it from interacting too much with the CB1 receptors 🧠

Relief for some without the high 🤙
THCA, or Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid in green and white text respectively. A solid black background. "May help with: nausea, inflammation, spasms, tumors, antiviral, gastrointestinal aid, neurological aid, sleep". On the right side are two similar molecules represented in 3-D. The only difference is that THCA has an extra carboxyl group (COOH) which is circled in blue).

THC's little brother (from a different mother), THCV is reported to help with focus, appetite suppression, and blood sugar...without getting you high, which most patients prefer.

Someday we'll find that these "secondary cannabinoids" really aren't so "secondary"🥇

📣 Cannabis is much more than THC!
(Against a solid black background) THCV, or Tetrahydrocannabivarin. Two 3-D molecules are shown: THCV and THC. The only molecular difference is that THC has a longer "nose" of consisting of a propyl (3-carbon) side chain instead of pentyl (5-carbon) like THC, making it non-psychoactive in lower doses - unlike THC. Reported Key Benefits: mental focus appetite suppressant antidiabetic (reduces blood sugar) neurological disorder relief or protectant TheAmazingFlower.com gold logo is in the lower right.

Adult cannabis users tell us it can be quite effective for relaxation, regardless of the method you prefer 😊

Our latest data show topical cannabinoids for pain can be very effective for some people.

ALL consumption methods seem to work pretty well, though. But remember. these are averages from people who have found something that works for them. Not everyone responds the same way 🤙
Simple vertical bar chart (blue bars on black background) showing self-reported effectiveness of cannabinoids for pain reduction by consumption method: 85% pain reduction for ingesting (swallowing), 77% for smoking, 75% for vaporizing, 80% for mucosal or tinctures/suppositories, and 84% for topicals

Just a reminder when you're reading headlines these days...

Most published studies about "cannabis" are really only about THC

There are hundreds of other cannabinoids that DON'T get you high and have amazing medicinal potential 🤙
The cannabinoid family tree, or biosynthetic pathway showing how cannabinoids are created by the cannabis plant, nature, or chemical engineers. There are 25 different cannabinoids represented on this chart including some that are not found in nature (Delta 10 THC, thco, thcp, hhc, hhco, etc.). Essentially the cannabis plant creates only the acidic forms including cbga, cbgva, thca, cbda, etc. The popular (and not popular) non acidic cannabinoids like THC and CBD arise from their parent acidic forms. It takes time, heat, sunlight, and oxygen as catalysts to convert the acidic cannabinoids to the non acidic or neutral cannabinoids. Much more information about cannabinoids is at The Amazing Flower website here: https://theamazingflower.com/pages/cannabinoids-18
