The Terpenes & Compounds of the Marijuana Plant

⚛COMPOUNDS & MOLECULAR  STRUCTURES⚛ 

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;

Nike's Influence on the Conformation of Society

              There are many products of today that people tend to buy in order to “conform” themselves with the rest of society. Whether it’s the lower class, middle class, or upper class, there is always one product that strikes the mind of individuals. The product that I decided to focus this study on is NBA Nike brand shoes. Nike brand shoes can apply to all people but are most commonly found amongst the younger crowd of today. The other large competing brand, Air Jordan, resembles the exact same level of demand as Nike. There are multiple reasons why Nike appeals to the younger generation of today. The company is known highly for its inner connection with super sport athletes everywhere. Almost every commercial that Nike airs on television includes a well-known athlete wearing the clothing or shoes. From Basketball and Football to Soccer and Baseball, Nike always finds a way to make a name for themselves in every sport. This wou...

Nike Personified

Th ere are brands advertised to people every day, with more being thought up of every minute. With each brand advertised, there are multiple people who become attached to a certain brand, thus forming a sense of brand loyalty. I’ve come across a lot of brands in my life , tending to direct my loyalty towards a select few. However, there is a dominant brand that I have come to really affiliate myself with, “Nike” . According to the website of Nike, “Nike, Inc. is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services”. With that being said, I feel like if this brand were to ever “ come to life ” , it would be more than just a single person. If the brand “Nike” ever came to life as a person, it would be in the form s of a man, a woman, a boy , and a girl, creating a Ni ke family. I feel that this is the appropriate incarnation to giv e the bra...
