What is Medical Marijuana ?

Medical marijuana is a natural plant that is found to have many healing properties. Medicinal use of marijuana dates back at least 5,000 years worldwide and dates back to the early 1600’s in the United States when hemp was grown like any other crop. Medical marijuana is the medical use of the cannabis sativa or cannabis indica plant to relieve symptoms of or treat diseases and conditions. A cannabis plant contains more than 100 different chemicals called cannabinoids. Each one has a different effect on the body. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the main chemicals used in medicine. Since Mississippi has legalized medicinal marijuana, a prescription, authorization, or medical recommendation is required, and a card or license is issued. This allows a person to buy medical marijuana.

What are Marijuana Terpenes and Why are they Important?
    • Terpenes are organic aromatic molecules of the cannabis plant secreted in the resin glands of the cannabis flower that have therapeutic properties that can aid in the plant’s medical benefit. Terpenes are responsible for the aroma and flavor such as citrus, fruity, sweet, lavender, pungent and earthy. There are 100 terpenes unique to the cannabis plant and the combination of these chemicals and cannabinoids like THC and CBD coexist and are responsible for the entire success of the cannabis plant being used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions.

      Since there are over 100 terpenes in just one cannabis flower, below are the top 7 terpenes known to have therapeutic properties:


      1. Myrcene - One the most abundant terpene in cannabis but can also be found naturally occurring in plants like thyme and lemongrass. Studies show that myrcene makes up as much as 65% of total terpene profile in some strains. Myrcene has the aroma of earthy, musky notes, resembling cloves and also has a fruity, red grape-like aroma. Myrcene can mostly be found in indicas and are known to have sedative effects and is useful in reducing inflammation and chronic pain.

      2. Limonene - The second most abundant terpene in all cannabis strains, but not all strains have it. Limonene gives strains a citrusy smell that resembles lemons, which is no surprise as all citrus fruits contain large amounts of this compound. Limonene has strong therapeutic purposes and is known to improve mood and reduce stress. Through research, limonene was found to have antifungal and antibacterial properties while possessing healing properties useful for gastric distress and inflammation, as well as anxiety.

      3. Linalool - This terpene is the most recognizable due to its cannabis smell consisting of spicy and floral notes. This terpene is the most responsible for that unmistakable marijuana scent. Linalool is also present in many plants such as lavender, mint, cinnamon, and coriander. Linalool has very strong sedative and relaxing properties and can help patients suffering from arthritis, depression, sleep disorders, seizures, insomnia and even cancer

      4. Pinene - Boasting a welcoming pine scent and is the terpene found most abundantly in nature, such as in pine trees, basil, and sage. Cannabis strains containing Pinene have been shown to be helpful in aiding pain relief, memory function, and overall relaxation while helping improve airflow and respiratory functions.

      5. Caryophyllene - Best known for its spicy and peppery note, caryophyllene is also found in black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and spices like oregano, basil, and rosemary. Its peppery, strong scent and taste make it a popular choice for consumers. Caryophyllene is the only terpene that binds to cannabinoid receptors. The Caryophyllene terpene has been shown to have strong anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties.

      6. Humulene - Unmistakable aroma containing earthy, woody and spicy notes, this was the first terpene found in hops. Besides cannabis, it can be also found in clove, sage, and black pepper. It has a variety of medical properties such as in suppressing appetite, reducing inflammation, relieving pain and fighting bacterial infections. Early research has shown humulene to be anti-proliferative, meaning it prevents cancer cells from growing.

      7. Camphene – With a strong aroma that resembles fir needles, musky earth, and damp woodlands, Camphene is often mistaken for myrcene, which has that trademark cannabis smell that most of us know. Camphene has been widely used in conventional medicine as a topical for skin issues like eczema and psoriasis. Camphene’s greatest potential lies in its ability to lower the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, further lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
