Okay so first the chemotypes found in these may have overall been rated as "relaxing".. at least for harvests at the end of the season/outdoors. I have had hypertension and heart palpitations before and it was a mystery, would not deduce it to psychoactive potency. Beta-caryophyllene and A-humulene are substances that are pale light green to yellow. A-Pinene and THC are known to be vascular/broncho-dilators.

humulene is a cannabinoid and sesquiterpene. Humulene is a powerful anti-inflammatory and an anti-pain compound, (with association to immunity) Caryophyllene was shown to be an selective agonist of cannabinoid receptor type-2 (CB2) and to exert significant cannabimimetic antiinflammatory effects in mice. As an Antinociceptive, it may cause subjective experience of pain.
The gate control theory of pain, proposed by Patrick David Wall and Ronald Melzack, postulates that nociception (pain) is "gated" by non-nociception stimuli such as vibration. Thus, rubbing a bumped knee seems to relieve pain by preventing its transmission to the brain. Pain is also "gated" by signals that descend from the brain to the spinal cord to suppress (and in other cases enhance) incoming nociception (pain) information.
Cannabis contains phytosterols like other plants, it relates to metabolism and i think green tea is a fine example of this.
Phytosterols, in contrast, are totally natural molecules from plant sources. These molecules provide the raw materials for, and stimulate the production of pro-hormones which are precursors to hormones. When ingested, they have shown to be effective at balancing our hormonal system by increasing the number of precursor molecules available to the different endocrine glands. You are not supplementing your body with hormones, rather you are giving it the raw materials to make hormones as it deems necessary.
Like monoterpenes such as A-pinene, sesquiterpenes may be acyclic or contain rings, including many unique combinations. Biochemical modifications such as oxidation or rearrangement produce the related sesquiterpenoids. sesquiterpene lactones are known to cause allergenic reactions in some persons, btw.

Sesquiterpenes are found naturally in plants and insects, as semiochemicals, e.g. defensive agents or pheromones.



Proprioception is determined by using standard mechanoreceptors (especially ruffini corpuscles (stretch) and transient receptor potential (TRP) channels). Proprioception is completely covered within the somatosensory system as the brain processes them together.


Potentially damaging mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimuli are detected by nerve endings called nociceptors, which are found in the skin, on internal surfaces such as the periosteum, joint surfaces, and in some internal organs. The concentration of nociceptors varies throughout the body; they are found in greater numbers in the skin than in deep internal surfaces. Some nociceptors are unspecialized free nerve endings that have their cell bodies outside the spinal column in the dorsal root ganglia.[3] Nociceptors are categorized according to the axons which travel from the receptors to the spinal cord or brain.

Nociceptors have a certain threshold; that is, they require a minimum intensity of stimulation before they trigger a signal. Once this threshold is reached a signal is passed along the axon of the neuron into the spinal cord.
Certain virus are known to inhabit nerve cells of the spinal column and immune response may trigger activation. Antioxidants found in a plethora of these substances contain oxidants - organic material that safely penetrate cell walls that may result in oxidization.

Carotenoids, also called tetraterpenoids, are organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria and fungi. Carotenoids can be produced from fats and other basic organic metabolic building blocks by all these organisms. The only animals known to produce carotenoids are aphids and spider mites, which acquired the ability and genes from fungi [1][2][3] or it is produced by endosymbiotic bacteria in whiteflies [4]. Carotenoids from the diet are stored in the fatty tissues of animals, and exclusively carnivorous animals obtain the compounds from animal fat.

There are over 600 known carotenoids; they are split into two classes, xanthophylls (which contain oxygen) and carotenes (which are purely hydrocarbons, and contain no oxygen). All are derivatives of tetraterpenes, meaning that they are produced from 8 isoprene molecules and contain 40 carbon atoms. In general, carotenoids absorb wavelengths ranging from 400-550 nanometers (violet to green light). This causes the compounds to be deeply colored yellow, orange, or red. Carotenoids are the dominant pigment in autumn leaf coloration of about 15-30% of tree species, but many plant colors, especially reds and purples, are due to other classes of chemicals.
It has been suggested via studies that its quite possible for the lungs to absorb carotene, indeed vitamin B12.

Carotenoids serve two key roles in plants and algae: they absorb light energy for use in photosynthesis, and they protect chlorophyll from photodamage. Carotenoids that contain unsubstituted beta-ionone rings (including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin and gamma-carotene) have vitamin A activity (meaning that they can be converted to retinol), and these and other carotenoids can also act as antioxidants. In the eye, certain other carotenoids (lutein, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin) apparently act directly to absorb damaging blue and near-ultraviolet light, in order to protect the macula of the retina, the part of the eye with the sharpest vision.
However,
A second trial from the United States used daily 30 mg of beta-carotene combined with 25 000 units of retinol in smokers or asbestos-exposed workers who were at high risk for the development of lung cancer. ... Moreover, this animal has been used for studies of tobacco smoking and inhalation toxicology.
The first thing to clear up what nicotine does to the vessels themselves. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor that causes the blood vessels to shrink and tighten up. This in turn has a big impact on the blood pressure.
Nicotine also causes the body to release fat and cholesterol when it enters the blood stream. This means that you have an increased amount of cholesterol flowing through the circulatory system.

That cholesterol problem is only made worse when you smoke.
When combustion of carbon is incomplete, i.e. there is a limited supply of air, only half as much oxygen adds to the carbon, and instead you form carbon monoxide, the carbon monoxide makes it easier for fat and cholesterol to attach themselves to your arteries.
