To fully understand the entourage effect, it’s helpful to learn about the various compounds within the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids and terpenes are found within marijuana as well as within non-psychoactive hemp. They’re responsible for everything about the way the plant works – from the way it affects the human brain and body to the way it tastes and smells.
The main compounds responsible for the cannabis entourage effect are cannabinoids and terpenes.
The way marijuana affects people has been the subject of much study over the years. It’s known for causing a euphoric high, and it can also make people feel sleepy, energized, and even hungry. These effects are caused by the many different compounds found within the marijuana plant. While those compounds each play an individual role in how marijuana makes people feel, a theory known as “the entourage effect” says that these chemicals behave differently – and potentially even better – when combined together.
Over the years, the existence of the entourage effect has been the subject of much research and debate in the scientific community
