The Terpenes & Compounds of the Marijuana Plant

βš›COMPOUNDS & MOLECULAR  STRUCTURESβš› 

WHAT ARE THEY? 


By dictionary definition, a compound is a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements. However, a molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that has all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance.  Everything is made up of compounds and molecules. The earth, fragments of space, people, and most importantly, WEED! 

Yes, even the marijuana plant includes compounds and molecules. With these compounds and molecules, the marijuana plant can grow to have different properties in look, taste, and effects on the human body. The 3 main types of marijuana plants include Savita's, Indica's, and Hybrids.  But exactly what are they? Lets take a deeper dive.

SATIVAS 

Sativa's are described as the more invigorating. energetic, and uplifting sub species of cannabis. Their outward appearance includes long stems with more narrow leaves. I would like to think that they're colors of fall but unfortunately they're not. However, these are the basics of the sativa species.


INDICAS

Indica's are described as the more relaxing, mellow, and sedative sub species of cannabis. Their outward appearance includes short stems with stubby leaves. I would like to think that they're colors of a poisonous purple mushroom but unfortunately they're not. However, these are the basics of the Indica species. 


HYBRIDS

Hybrids are described as the perfect mix of invigorating, relaxing, energetic, mellow, uplifting, and sedative sub species of cannabis. Hybrids are the ultimate test tube baby mixes of Sativa's and Indica's. Their outward appearance can vary between common characteristics of both the sativa and Indica plant.  I would like to think that they're the colors of a standard green marijuana plant but unfortunately, that's how every strain of cannabis looks like on the outside. However, these are the basics of the Hybrid species.

Now that we've covered the basic types of strains, we can take a deeper dive into what each strain has to offer the world. Remember the molecules and compounds from earlier? Well for each strain of cannabis, there's a variety of compounds and molecules that span from the subspecies. Each has their own properties in regards to the effects that it can cause on the human mind and body. In this segment, we'll cover these unique compounds and molecules.

The dictionary term for this system of compounds and molecules is called TERPENES!  Lets go over all the different terpenes and effects they carry through their respective cannabis sub species;

Reviews by Pancho @ "Supreme Mathematic African Ma'at Magic" By African Creation Energy

Supreme Mathematic African Ma'at Magic ⫀⨦⨧ <<<------------This journal-sized book was fun to read in regards to the context found within the pages. The author(s) do a great job of supplying the text with pictures and images. This brings the text to life for each chapter, which makes the book enjoyable overall. While the imagery side of things is a 10/10, the factual side is a 4/10.  One issue I keep finding with books that attempt to educate people on the more spiritual side of things is the factuality of the content printed.  "Supreme Maat" covers the history of African American culture and its uses when it comes to mathematics.  What I fail to understand is how Mathematics correlates with people who have special powers and the ability to use certain magical things that were given to us by deities.  African Creation Energy, as a whole, threw me off with that one.  I don't believe that only certain gifted people can be good at math; nor do I believe tha...

Reviews by Pancho @ "The Half Has Never Been Told " By Edward E Baptist

πŸ‘₯ The Half Has Never Been Told   πŸ‘₯ This large-sized book is amazing. I normally don't start off the reviews like this but this book is something that I highly recommend for all people to read. The author Edward Baptist does a great job of connecting motives from the precolonial United States to the act of slavery and the profits made from it. Baptist includes views from so many different angles; which ties into one of the biggest events to ever happen to the united states. He goes on to factually break down every moment that added to the success of America, the destruction of black people, and the wealth of other nations. Because of the book's extensive length, some might have to go back and re-read sections. I know I had to a few times while reading it, but it was worth it.  I really like this book because, for the first time in a long time, it feels like the right light was shined on the right views. If all people read this, I feel like they would learn a thing or two abou...

Reviews by Pancho @ "As A Black Man Thinketh" By Reggie Whittaker

As A Black Man Thinketh ΰΆ§ This journal-sized book follows a very close POV style look at the Authors life and what he's been through over the years. He shines a light on common issues that black men go through living in America. Throughout the book, the audience is given a deeper insight into Whittaker's life when he explains his time being incarcerated in the jail system along with his marital issues. I really like this book because the author uses himself as an example that he can learn from and analyze with care.  I personally resonated with some of the upbringings that he endured while being a child of black parents in America.  Whittaker's ability to be as unbiased as possible makes him the perfect teacher to talk about common issues that aren't discussed enough within a race. We must not focus on the past, but in order to solve a multigenerational problem, one must learn to backtrack, hoping to see where the problem lies and where edits can be made.  The subtitle ...
