Going all the way with the Entourage Effect is exactly what you need to know and what we are going to discuss today. The Entourage Effect is like when you are driving down the road at a casual pace then you hit the gas pedal and you are flying low. There are multiple compounds that are involved in experiencing the Entourage Effect. Some people want to consume hemp but are concerned about the ever-slight possibility of testing positive in a drug test. Usually, the .03% Delta 9 THC will not show positive in a drug test, it could happen. If you consume a hemp isolate product, you are consuming only CBD at about a 98% content. That is good but you will not experience the Entourage Effect. With that cleared up, let’s proceed to all things Entourage Effect.

Going All the Way with the Entourage Effect — Talking Numbers
150 — That is the number of cannabinoids in hemp. 220 — That is the number of terpenes in hemp. 20 — That is the number of flavonoids in hemp. There may be other natural compounds in hemp, but these are the main three. These are the ones that mostly impact the body for health benefits and effects. Not every flower has all of these in it but each flower has a unique profile of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Each one of these compounds has a part to play in the effects you experience when you smoke or dry vape it. On the other hand, each of these compounds also have an impact on creating homeostasis in your body.
It is true that the cannabinoids in the hemp flower are the chemical compounds that interact with the CB receptors in the Endocannabinoid System in the body structure to restore a healthy balance. It is also true that the terpenes are responsible for all the savors that makes for an amazing party experience with friends around the pool smoking and dry vaping. Each of these compounds produces its own benefits separately, but is it possible that they also work together to create a more powerful effect? Let’s take a look.
Going All the Way with the Entourage Effect — Cannabinoids
The term entourage effect describes a cooperation between chemicals and the Endocannabinoid System that triggers a cell reaction within the CB receptors. Thus, kicks off the healing process and the balancing of our entire body. Dr. Ethan Russo published in the British Journal of Pharmacology to makes the case for synergy that happens between all the different natural compounds. Plant synergy is a therapeutic action that happens between natural plant-derived compounds and our body.
Even if there are several cannabinoids in the hemp flower and everything else stripped from the product, you will not experience the Entourage Effect. The most common isolate product has only CBD because it is the leading therapeutic in hemp. The truth of the matter is that terpenes and flavonoids add to the beneficial effects of cannabinoids because it generates the Entourage Effect. Hemp flower is naturally rich in different cannabinoids and terpenes but there is something else that can enhance the Entourage Effect. Guess what they are? They are delta-8 distillate and kief that can be added to a base flower.
A 2011 review found sufficient evidence that taking cannabinoids and terpenes together may better help with eliminating pain, inflammation, anxiety, epilepsy and insomnia. There are two types of cannabinoids — phytocannabinoids which are in the hemp plant and endocannabinoids which are our own cannabinoids native to our body.
If you have ever looked closely at the hemp flower you will see a beautiful coating of crystals which are filled with terpenes. Hemp is not the only plant that has terpenes. Any plant with a strong aroma sports terpenes. Terpenes are always responsible for the aroma. Terpenes are also the main part of all essential oils and responsible for the aromatherapy aroma you experience. Cannabis hemp has significant, unmistakable aromas from skunky and earthy to fruity and pine-like. There may be 220 terpenes but there are much fewer dominant and commonly found terpenes in the hemp. These are listed below so let’s take a look.
Caryophyllene — Sports a sweet, spicy aroma.
Humulene — It has a earthy, woody, and spicy aroma.
Limonene — Present in the rind of citrus fruits, including oranges, lemons, and limes. It has a strong, sweet citrusy smell that freshens up the room.
Linalool — Sports a sweet and floral aroma with a hint of spice;
Myrcene — The most commonly found terpene and it has an earthy, clove-like aroma with a hint of fruit.
Pinene — Always with a fresh scent reminiscent of a pine forest.
The presence of terpenes affects how the cannabinoids react in the body. The best way that they do that is when the terpenes or pinene terpene in particular, when combined with CBD brings down the affect of Delta 9 THC on the user’s memory. Linalool and pinene also influence brain function and thus adjust cognitive behaviors.
Going All the Way with the Entourage Effect — Getting the Most
If you want to be sure and get the most out of the hemp you consume in whichever hemp product you use, then there are a few things you need to know. Consuming an isolate product will reap you some health benefits but it will not afford you the much-coveted Entourage Effect. If you want the full force of the hemp power then always be sure that you consume full spectrum products, not broad spectrum, but full spectrum. What you are looking for is a product that has the entire hemp plant profile that includes terpenes, cannabinoids, flavonoids and other natural compounds. The advantage of a full spectrum product also is that it has the least amount of processing of any of the products.
