There's been a few mentions of this article and the one from which this review was drawn, so I figure I'd post it so people could have a look for themselves.

Enjoy,

You can order O'Shaugnessy's via mail order, it's a great piece of journalism focused on medicinal cannabis in California.

my boss was quoted in one of these articles. did you check out the lab ring test article from o'shaugnessy's a few months ago? what did you think? on another aside, have you done any breeding projects to produce a really chemically unique cultivar (e.g. high in CBDA, THCVA, any number or combo of terpenes)?

Great article, thanks for the link. A few of the more notable parts are where he specifically mentions CBD as helping drug addiction and countering drowsiness.

O’Shaughnessy’s is a most respected journal, and the information in the pdf presented by Chimera is fascinating, and apparently quite true.

My hat's off in respect to Fred Gardner for many reasons, but especially for continuing his work with O’Shaughnessy’s.

Thank you Chimera for posting this information!

Great article!

I wonder why this hasn't got more attention though. From what I've read on the forums it seems that many people seem to associate the kind of high you get from the herb to the different ratios of cannabinoids, especially the THC:CBD ratio. According to the article however, it seems that when it comes to the specific nuances of the high, the terpenoids that are present seem to play quite a role. Especially so since most varieties nowadays are high in THC and low in CBD, but we still see quite a difference in effects.

For example lets take the terpenoid Myrcene. The article states that combined with THC it may produce the ‘couch-lock’ phenomenon of certain chemotypes.

Now since terpenoids are aromatic molecules and the ones responsible for the wide bouquet of aromas our favorite plant produces AND they play a role in the nuances of the high, would it be safe to say that the aroma of a specific plant plays a much bigger role than just 'wow, this smells nice'? But why stop here? The strength of the aroma should also relate to the amount of terpenoids present (I'm sure it's not really as simple as that, but for arguments' sake) and could therefore indicate how 'modified' the high would be.

Am I over-stating the 'value' of terpenoids, or does it only seem to me, that they have been greatly overlooked in the industry?
