After hearing the story of a young girl with Dravet syndrome named Charlotte Figi, the Stanley Brothers developed a full-spectrum cannabinoid extract with CBD and other cannabinoids, as well as beneficial plant compounds like terpenes and flavonoids. The 13-year-old girl lost her life in April 2020 after a long battle with Dravet syndrome.
Some terpenes like linalool, eucalyptol and limonene also exhibit these properties. If you do not need cannabis to keep some of your other symptoms in check, then you might be better off with an alternative treatment option. Other cannabis compounds also showed anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
After treating thousands of patients with medical cannabis since 2009 and following their progress and results, I have been amazed by the versatility and effectiveness of cannabis in relieving symptoms and promoting healing. Smoking or using a vaporizer is extremely useful for people who need fast-acting treatment. About the Author.
Because of this variability in the plant, and because of a lack of standard methods–like chemical analyses of cannabinoids or terpenes–has led to inconsistent scientific results. Preclinical studies involve exposing cells and animals to treatments to see if there are indications that the treatment could be worth evaluating in humans.
For example, emission of terpenes – a reactive organic compound – have the potential to occur during processing or manufacturing operations. If a cannabis operation is located in an area where the sewer system connects to a publicly-owned treatment works (POTW), the operator will need to contact the POTW prior to beginning discharge.
As reviewed in a recent Forbes article, “a study of more than 400 health care professionals has revealed that most physicians lack knowledge of medicinal cannabis, with 65% saying that they have been asked about medical marijuana as a treatment for chronic pain but were unable to answer their patients’ questions” (1). BMC Fam Pract.
A study published in February 2015 in the Pharmacology & Pharmacy journal showed that a CBD-rich extract from cannabis plants is much more efficient than CBD used in its pure form , mainly due the presence of other cannabinoids, terpenes and other molecules that greatly increase the dosage/efficiency ratio of CBD.
Many cannabis users have long claimed that the full extract cannabis oil, which contains more THC than most oils, is an effective treatment for conditions ranging from inflammation to insomnia. Simpson gave away his oil for free until 2009 when he stopped for legal reasons. Thomas, Ont. Mera Cannabis Corp).

It was also used as a topical treatment for haemorrhoids, ear infection, and wounds (Aldrich 1997 ; Touw 1981 ). Research into the plant’s chemical compounds has also revealed a rich array of terpenes and flavonoids that may also account for the plant’s therapeutic effects (Kotsirilos and McGregor 2021 ).
Based on the limited existing evidence, the best cannabis strain for migraines may be a Type II that includes both THC and CBD, and a terpene profile that includes beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, linalool, limonene, bisabolol, humulene or pinene. The study called out pinene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene as specifically useful terpenes.
There’s another essential factor for a fully functional treatment. What’s also important is the cannabinoid type used in the treatment. Prakash Nagarkatti, Rupal Pandey, Sadiye Amcaoglu Rieder, Venkatesh L Hegde, and Mitzi Nagarkatti; Cannabinoids as novel anti-inflammatory drugs; October 2009; 1333–1349. References.
But if official scientific research concluded that a malfunctioning endocannabinoid system is connected to so many physiological issues, this directly coincides with why cannabis is a valid and successful treatment method for so many conditions, disorders and diseases, such as: Anxiety. Depression. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Ultimately, the cannabinoid system works by way of multiple molecules affecting multiple receptors at once – the entourage effect, and thus such singular approaches to treatment by way of the cannabinoid system are not effective. Also discussed are other attempts at affecting the cannabinoid system from a singular standpoint.
Phytol is a terpene that’s sometimes used to add flavor to vape cartridges, usually by adding it to a mix of cannabis oil and the common thinning agent propylene glycol. The AIA request had been requested by David Heldreth , the former chief science officer of True Terpenes, a major phytol reseller. David Downs/Leafly).
Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Clinical Efficacy of Cannabidiol Treatment in Osteoarthritic Dogs. Dogs received each of two treatments: CBD oil (2 mg/kg) or placebo oil every 12 h. Each treatment lasted for 4 weeks with a 2-week washout period. Veterinary assessment showed decreased pain during CBD treatment ( p < 0.02).
Scientists are hopeful that psychedelics might have more of a curative effect when it comes to mental health than many existing treatment options; meaning that unlike most psychiatric medications, psychedelics may be able to prompt long-term changes to our mental state with only a few doses. It became illegal in the US in 2009.

She is interested in the theme of ‘connectedness to Self, others, and the world’ as an important aspect of psychedelic treatment.
