Studies have shown that medical cannabis has greater therapeutic efficacy when a plant’s different cannabinoids work in concert with other cannabinoids and terpenes in a phenomenon known as the “Entourage Effect,” rather than when they are used individually. Creating optimal therapeutic effects requires tailoring product compositions to individual conditions. But the complications of plant genetics and challenges of reproducing consistent combinations makes harnessing the Entourage Effect very difficult. But it can be done. This session will explore how to use advanced processing technologies for manufacturing an array of desired products.
You’ll get insights on:
- The role that terpenes have in the Entourage Effect and how they can improve the therapeutic efficacy of a medical cannabis compound.
- Using specific terpene blends to design compositions for sleep disorders, pain management, anxiety, stress and other disorders.
- How industrial processing can produce an unlimited variety of precise and reproducible cannabis compounds.
- Examples of the Entourage Effect from other industries.
