Entourage effect

The entourage effect refers to how different compounds in cannabis, such as cannabinoids and terpenes, work together to produce a combined effect that differs from any single compound on its own. This synergy can enhance desired outcomes like pain relief or relaxation while reducing side effects. Essentially, the plant’s full spectrum of chemicals interacts in a way that amplifies or modulates effects, making whole-plant products often more effective than isolated compounds. This concept highlights the importance of the natural diversity of cannabis compounds in achieving optimal therapeutic benefits.
