Terpenes
Terpenes are another type of compound that is found within the cannabis plant. These compounds are present throughout nature, and every plant has a unique combination of terpenes that gives rise to different flavors and fragrances, which is why different strains of cannabis vary in smell and taste.
Linalool
Myrcene
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.
Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Cannabis’ ability to modulate serotonin transmission can help relieve the intensity and frequency of headaches in some cases.

Cannabis contains many anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds that can beat stress and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.
