THC & Terpene Synergy Guide

Understand the Entourage Effect: How THC (the engine) and terpenes (the steering wheel) work together to create therapeutic outcomes.

The Entourage Effect

THC = The Engine

THC provides the potency and drive. Higher THC doesn't always mean better medicine—the terpene ratio determines the quality of the therapeutic outcome.

Terpenes = The Steering Wheel

Terpenes modulate and direct the effects of THC. They create the nuanced therapeutic profile and determine how the medicine affects you.

What is the Entourage Effect?

The entourage effect describes how cannabinoids and terpenes work synergistically to produce effects greater than the sum of their individual parts. A strain with 15% THC and the right terpene profile can be more therapeutic than a strain with 25% THC and poor terpene ratios.

This is why understanding terpene profiles is crucial for finding the right medicine for your specific needs.
