Sunshine On A Brainy Day – Terpenes that help Alzheimer's

I was inspired by Canyon to finally begin reading Ethan Russo's landmark paper on cannabis and terpenes, and right there before my eyes was a recommendation of sorts for the terpenes that may well assist the brain in dealing with the Alzheimer's. Sometimes this type of inspiration takes me by surprise.

Look for limonene, pinene and linalool. Interesting list. My Carnival is rich in limonene, one of my favorite terpenes. The limonene and pinene are both strong anti-inflammatory and the linalool is anti-anxiety and sedating. At this point we have no studies on what's happening in the human body, but these little bits of awareness can help us get some direction. There's a synergy happening between the cannabinoids and the terpenes that we don't yet understand.

I have great respect for Russo. I'd be looking for these terpenes in the strains I choose to grow. You may already have strains with these terpenes. I haven't checked your lineup for the terpene profiles. Often the plants we need choose us.

Big hug right back.
