Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - Tetrahydrocannabinol, referred to as THC, is the most studied chemical compound responsible for the “high”effect induced when cannabis is consumed.

Cannabidiol (CBD) - CBD is the second most prominent phytocannabinoid, known for its medicinal applications and non-intoxicating effects.

Terpenes - Terpenes are essential oils found in cannabis that work together with phytocannabinoids to provide therapeutic effects.

Linalool - Linalool is a terpene found in the cannabis plant that is similar to lavender in its ability to promote relaxation and calming effects.

Caryophyllene - Caryophyllene is a terpene often found in CBD-rich cannabis with an earthy pungency much like smelling fresh cracked pepper.

Limonene - Limonene is the second most common terpene found in the cannabis plant with bright and citrusy notes like a freshly peeled orange.
