A quick and simple guide to the entourage effect

Entourage Effect: Have you ever looked and examined the buds of the cannabis plant? How they are enclosed and protected with sticky and shiny dots of Resin. These resins are known as trichrome. They always carry the most amazing aromas. Trichrome contains hundreds of therapeutic compounds that contribute to the medical benefits of cannabis.

With the efficacy and popularity of Cannabis, THC and CBD have become the most widely researched and well-known acronyms in the medical profession. They are some of the most famous therapeutic compounds used to treat various ailments like cancer, mental disorder, etc. However, most researchers believe that CBD and THC must be combined with some natural form or other chemical compounds like terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids for superior results.

When paired together for medicines, Trichrome or therapeutic compounds exert a higher therapeutic effect than any single compound itself can do. This combined magic of the cannabis compound is known as the “entourage effect.” You can find compounds at almost every Toronto cannabis dispensary.

If you are new to cannabis and hearing the “entourage effect” for the first time, this article will help you and provide you with a quick and straightforward guide about the entourage effect and its benefits.

You must have heard the phrase “sum is greater than the parts,” which means the combined components will have a more powerful and more significant impact rather than individual components. This concept also forms the basis of the entourage effect.

The cannabis entourage effect occurs when cannabis compounds like CBD and THC, along with other therapeutic compounds, work together and enhance each other’s effects, known as the “entourage effect.” The integration of these cannabis compounds enhances the drug’s psychoactive and medicinal properties and makes cannabis a living medicine for users.
