Terpenes can be found in the essential oils of all plants. In cannabis, they play a major role in how our bodies interact with particular strains. Terpenes also give us a better understanding of how certain strains may interact with us individually and can allow us to better curate the effect a consumer or patient may be looking for.

Most famously, terpenes are responsible for the way cannabis hits your nose. Those lemon, grape, and fuel scents that denote world-class cannabis for many connoisseurs are actually variations in the concentration of particular terpenes from strain to strain.

Cannabinoids & Sterols

More than 20 flavonoids have been identified in the cannabis plant, most of which are flavones (apigenin and luteolin), flavonols (kaempferol and quercetin), aglycones, and glycosides. Interestingly, scientists have been able to isolate three prenylated/geranylated flavones from cannabis: cannflavins A, B, and C.

It is worth noting that although cannflavins are often referred to as flavonoids unique to the cannabis plant, cannflavin A has also been identified in Mimulus Bigelovii (monkey flower), a plant in the Phyrmaceae family.

Sterols and triterpenoids are mainly present in cannabis stems, bark, and roots. Friedelin is the most abundant and most studied triterpenoid in cannabis, and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, estrogenic, and liver protectant properties. β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol are the most abundant phytosterols in the human diet.

Phytosterols are widely recognized for having the ability to lower the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. They are also studied for antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and pain relieving properties.
