What causes cannabis effects?

Cannabis effects are primarily caused by terpenes and cannabinoids working together. THC percentage alone does not determine your experience — the terpene profile is the real driver.

Do terpenes change your high?

Yes. Terpenes like Myrcene produce calming effects, Limonene produces uplifting effects, and Caryophyllene has anti-anxiety properties. Two products with identical THC can feel completely different based on terpenes.

Is Sativa really energizing?

The sativa vs indica distinction is not a reliable predictor of effects. The terpene profile of the specific product is a far more accurate guide to how it will make you feel.

What is the difference between Indica and Sativa?

Indica is traditionally associated with relaxation and Sativa with energy, but the terpene profile of the specific product is the more reliable guide to actual effects.
