New research suggests terpenes team up with THC & CBD for a stronger pain-relief effect (entourage effect). This makes cannabis terpenes an option for pain management.

Chronic pain disrupts lives. By exploring the potential of nature's aromatic gifts within the cannabis plant, particularly terpenes, we can seek relief that goes beyond the psychoactive effects often associated with THC.

Top Cannabis-derived terpenes for effective pain relief

Bucanna Labs curates cannabis strains rich in specific terpenes for targeted effects. Here are some of the most promising terpenes for pain management:

• Myrcene

  This superstar terpene, abundant in Indica strains like Blue Dream and Granddaddy Purple, boasts potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
  
  

• Limonene

  Don't be fooled by its uplifting citrusy aroma! Limonene, found in strains like Super Lemon Haze, may also possess anti-inflammatory properties that could contribute to pain management.
  
  

• Caryophyllene

  This unique terpene, present in strains like GSC and Original Glue, is the only terpene known to bind directly to CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, potentially offering pain relief similar to some medications.
  
  

• Pinene

  Jack Herer and Critical Mass are known for their pinene content, which may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects that could benefit pain management.

Unlocking Pain Relief Potential

The beauty of terpenes lies in their diverse range of effects. While these terpenes show promise for pain relief, it's important to remember that individual experiences can vary.

At Bucanna Labs, we understand this. Explore our selection and consult with a knowledgeable budtender to find the perfect combination for your pain management needs.

Remember:

• The entourage effect: Consider the combined effects of terpenes and cannabinoids for a more holistic approach to pain management.
• Start low, slow and go: Begin with a low dosage and gradually increase as needed to find what works best for you.
• Consult a healthcare professional: Especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.

Myrcene: The King of Relaxation

Among the terpene superstars, Myrcene holds a special place. Renowned for its potential discomfort-fighting properties, Myrcene is the most abundant terpene found in many popular Indica strains. Research suggests Myrcene may interact with other cannabis compounds, like THC, to influence the overall effects. This potential for entourage effect enhancement makes Myrcene a captivating terpene for those seeking relaxation and stress relief.

Myrcene Powerhouse Strains

Blue Dream, Granddaddy Purple, and Skywalker OG are just a few fan favorites known for their high Myrcene content. These strains are often sought after for nighttime use due to the potentially relaxing properties associated with Myrcene.
