Medical Cannabis Podcast: A Beginner's Guide

A lot of people wonder why two different varieties of cannabis - with similar THC and CBD in it - can apparently have different effects on a person.  In this episode we go beyond the cannabis folk knowledge of Sativa vs. Indica, and we explore the chemical reasons why one chemical variety of cannabis may make us feel "stoned" and another variety may make us feel "high" or stimulated.  We explore the fragrant essential oils in the Cannabis plant called terpenes, and how these chemical can help us select a medical cannabis product that is suited to our needs. We look at some of the common terpenes found in Medical Cannabis and how these may have medical benefits, and how they may change or augment the way phytocannabinoids (like THC) work in our body.   We briefly discuss some common terpenes such as myrcene, alpha-pinene, limonene, linalool and beta-carophylline.  Thank you very much for checking out our podcast, and if you enjoy it  please leave a comment or a review.    To see some more simple, easy to under
