Tolerance: Every Cannabis User's Nemesis
Enhanced Effect™ is Cannanda's first product launched and developed to help cannabis users overcome the negative effects of tolerance. It's a proprietary blend of four pure terpenes in a base of Cannabis sativa seed oil that helps users experience cannabis like they used to.
By helping patients reduce tolerance to cannabis, they can maximize its medicinal benefits. They can also use cannabis continuously, without the need to take "tolerance breaks"-which was previously the only way to reduce tolerance. A proper tolerance break lasts 2-4 weeks-that's a long time to go without medicine when you depend on it daily.
What is Cannabis Tolerance?
In simple terms, tolerance is essentially an adaptation by the body that results in a reduction in the effects of cannabis. It develops in all regular cannabis users, and can start to set in after only a few days of consecutive use. Within our bodies, tolerance develops through two physiological pathways. The first develops at the cellular level, where a couple things can happen: 1) down-regulation of CB1 receptors in the brain (body makes less cannabinoid receptors), and/or 2) uncoupling of the biological pathway (so even if THC binds to CB1, the signal is not transmitted any further). These mechanisms are tightly controlled by the body and will require a tolerance break to "reset."
The secondary pathway occurs at the organ level (absorption/elimination). This is where a product like Enhanced Effect™ can be of benefit. In this way, we can help regular users go longer periods of time before a needing tolerance break. So in any person who's developed tolerance mainly through this secondary pathway, Enhanced Effect™ will provide some wonderful experiences.
Pure Terpenes, Not Essential Oils
In order to adhere to the desires of cannabis purists, we've chosen to use pure terpenes that are found in fresh cannabis. [Some history: version 1.2 of this formula used essential oils of various plants, but because essential oils contain many other terpenes (many not found in cannabis) feedback from our user panel felt it deviated too far from what a true terpene experience for cannabis users should be.] Our base of hemp seed oil also ensures only those compounds you'd expect to find in cannabis are used in this formulation.
Terpenes on the Go
Our individual packets offer an industry first-the use of an environmentally-friendly, biodegradable, and compostable (in any municiple compost program) gel-packs to create convenient, portable, and discreet individual packs providing you with fresh terpenes on-the-go. Each pack was designed to approximately contain the amount of terpenes in 1 g of dried cannabis.
These individual packs also ensure the rest of the unused terpenes in the jar are not exposed to oxygen-one of the most damaging factors to terpene stability. This is particularly important when dealing with unstable terpenes like beta-myrcene.
Terpenes: A Natural & Safe Complement to Cannabis Therapy
Cannanda is your source for highly prized terpenes. These are the natural compounds that give plants and flowers their distinctive odours and aroma. In essence, these are the "active ingredients" in essential oils.
For the cannabis plant, there are two major categories of plant compounds that determine the characteristics of the "strain." First are the cannabinoids. Well known compounds in this class include THC and CBD (among many others). Depending on the strain of cannabis, the proportions of these cannabinoids range, for example, from high THC/low CBD strains commonly sought by recreational users, to the low THC/high CBD strains prized by medicinal users.
The second major class of compounds-and the scientific basis behind Cannanda-are the terpenes. Here again, there are many distinct compounds in this class, such as limonene, alpha-pinene, beta-caryophyllene, linalool, and beta-myrcene. Their relative amounts are a key defining difference between strains. For example, indica strains are typically higher in beta-myrcene, while lower amounts are usually found in sativas. Also, the ratio of these terpenes (called the "terpene profile") is what helps deliver a specific effect in the user. So ultimately, changing the terpene ratio in your cannabis changes its effect.
Smell That? Terpenes are Everywhere!
Terpenes are not exclusive to cannabis, and the terpene profile is also a defining feature of any plant's essential oil, which is responsible for its aroma. Individual terpenes are also not exclusive to any one plant's essential oil. For example, limonene is found in all citrus fruits, certain types of herbs and even nutmeg. Pinene is found abundantly in trees like pine and fir, and in herbs like rosemary. Essential oils are used widely as natural flavour additives for food, as fragrances in perfumery, and aromatherapy.
The Entourage Effect: Potentizing Your CannabisTerpenes themselves are known to provide health benefits and therapeutic effects on their own, but can also the influence the effects and properties of other compounds, especially the cannabinoids. This phenomenon, where plant compounds act synergistically with each other, is known as the "entourage effect." For more detailed information on the entourage effect and terpenes in cannabis.
