What is the entourage effect? How terpenes and cannabinoids interact What benefits does the entourage effect offer consumers? Canasups products with entourage effect Conclusion |
The entourage effect describes the interaction of various active substances in the cannabis plant—particularly between cannabinoids such as THC and CBD and terpenes such as myrcene or limonene. The idea behind it is that the individual substances work better in combination than in isolation.
The concept originally stems from the research of Raphael Mechoulam, the discoverer of THC. It suggests that cannabis only develops its full potency when the natural components are consumed together.
Terpenes influence how cannabinoids are absorbed and processed by the body. For example, myrcene can increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, allowing THC to reach the brain more quickly. Limonene has a mood-enhancing effect, while linalool has a relaxing effect.
The effect of cannabis is therefore highly dependent on which terpenes and cannabinoids occur together – an effect that isolated THC from laboratory production cannot replicate. You can find out more about this in our article on myrcene .
The entourage effect creates a more balanced, often more pleasant high. Instead of pure THC intensity, a multifaceted experience emerges: more relaxation, less paranoia, and a longer-lasting effect. Consumers prone to intense inner restlessness particularly benefit from the natural interplay of cannabis components.
By carefully selecting products containing terpenes, the effect can be consciously utilized. Products like Mango+ were developed precisely for this purpose – a supplement for cannabis users with natural terpenes, vitamins, and plant extracts.
At Germany's leading provider of cannabis supplements, the entourage effect is the focus of many of its products. Mango+, for example, combines myrcene-containing mango powder with L-theanine and curcumin – a perfect synergy for energy and balance.
Our article on energy levels after smoking weed also shows how the combination of herbal active ingredients and vitamins can specifically help to compensate for typical side effects of THC.
Products such as Nature+ or Pief&Sleep also rely on this effect to support the body's natural processes – be it in THC breakdown or sleep regulation.
The entourage effect is more than a scientific concept—it's the key to a more balanced cannabis experience. Those who pay attention to quality and choose products with natural ingredients can specifically enhance the positive effects of cannabis and mitigate its negative effects.
Canasups understands this effect and, based on it, develops intelligent solutions for modern consumers. For more effect. For more balance. And for a more conscious stoner lifestyle.
