Terpene Spotlight: Beta-Caryophyllene

terpene spotlight: beta-caryophyllene

Welcome back to another edition of our terpene spotlight series. In each article of this series, we will explore a specific terpene and outline its effects and benefits within cannabis. To recap, terpenes are scented compounds that produce a unique taste and smell in plants like cannabis. They work together with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to maximize the benefits we can get from cannabis. We have learnt about limonene and linalool previously, and today we’ll be discussing beta-caryophyllene, a terpene that gives out a sweet aroma of clove with notes of wood.

What’s beta-caryophyllene?

Beta-caryophyllene, commonly known as caryophyllene, is one of the most well-known and well-researched terpenes in cannabis. This component is also present in the oils of numerous spices and food plants like black pepper, clove, oregano, and green vegetables. It can also be found in many essential oils and perfumes.

Beta-caryophyllene is the first known “dietary cannabinoid” that has GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food use. It can be used as a flavouring agent or adjuvant and coloring agent for food. It can also be used as an anti-inflammatory agent and used to suppress intestinal bacteria.

Aromas and flavours

Beta-caryophyllene is often described as having a spicy, peppery, and woody scent, with a hint of clove and cinnamon. When it comes to taste, beta-caryophyllene can give a warm and peppery sensation to the palate with a blend of slight sweetness or bitterness.

Benefits of beta-caryophyllene in cannabis
Potential therapeutic strategy

Beta-caryophyllene activates many of the benefits of the endocannabinoid system – A system that consists of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and receptor type 2 (CB2) in our body. CB1 receptors are primarily responsible for the psycho-modulatory effects of cannabis, whereas CB2 receptors are powerful at treating inflammation, pain, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis.

 

A 2008 research shows that beta-caryophyllene selectively binds to CB2 receptors in the human body, which makes it a functional agonist to treat inflammation, bodily pains, and muscle tension. This makes beta-caryophyllene a potential therapeutic strategy to improve metabolism and protect against neurodegeneration. Beta-caryophyllene may protect the brain and vascular system, improve stroke outcomes, prevent or help with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, and provide many more benefits to our bodies.

Mood booster

Taking beta-caryophyllene may improve symptoms of mood disorders, and may reduce levels of depression and anxiety. Several studies found that Beta-caryophyllene has anti-cancer properties and antiproliferative effects, and the ability to prevent the spread of cancerous cells. Due to its powerful therapeutic properties, Beta-caryophyllene is considered by many as one of the most beneficial terpenes contained in cannabis.

 

Best way to get the most out of beta-caryophyllene

Beta-caryophyllene is found in various cannabis products, so there are many ways to consume it nowadays. For example, it can be ingested through inhalation or even consumed orally. Generally, a vaporizer with temperature control is usually the best way for you to get the most out of the terpenes found in cannabis, because the optimal temperature for each terpene varies widely. Additionally, we may also set our vaporizer at a different temperature depending on the desired effects we are looking for, so researching the temperature of the desired terpenes is key for a better experience.

Optimal temperature for vaping beta-caryophyllene

Beta-caryophyllene has a boiling point of around 246°C (475°F), which is a pretty high temperature to set if we want it to vaporize effectively. However, cannabinoids like THC and CBD and other terpenes may also vaporize at higher temperatures, which can affect the overall flavours and effects.

The range of 190-220°C (375-428°F) is often recommended for vaping cannabis, but some users may like a lower temperature for a more subtle effect, whereas some users prefer higher temperatures for stronger effects. It is always a good idea to consult your budtenders for advice when choosing a strain and vaporizer that suits your needs.

Beta-caryophyllene-dominant strains and products

Some strains like Cookies, White Widow, OG Kush, Bubba Kush, Sour Diesel, Sunset Sherbert, Gorilla Glue, and CNDYLND, are beta-caryophyllene-dominant. In offside cannabis, we offer a few beta-caryophyllene-heavy options for you to choose from, including in both buds and pre-rolls. Here are some that you may like.

 

Spinach – GMO Cookies – 3.5g – 28g

FIGR – GO STEADY BLACK CHERRY PUNCH – 3×0.5g

Broken Coast – Sunset Sherbert – 3.5g

CBD Explained

what is CBD

CBD Explained

Understanding the science behind cannabis may help you enjoy a better experience when consuming cannabis responsibly. Today, we are going to break down some information we found in some scientific and academic studies on cannabidiol (CBD) and share some interesting findings that may help you understand cannabis better.

Let’s start with cannabis

Cannabis is a plant of the Cannabaceae family, which is likely to have originated within the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere and later spread worldwide. Besides cannabis, the Cannabaceae family includes two species of hops, and their female flowers are what we use for making beers.
We often use the words “cannabis” and “marijuana” interchangeably, but the word “cannabis” is actually referring to all products derived from the cannabis plant. While “marijuana” refers to any parts or products that are made from the dried flowers, leaves, stems and seeds of Cannabis Sativa or Cannabis Indica with a substantial amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Parts or products of the Cannabis Sativa plant with no more than 0.3% of THC are basically just “industrial hemp”.

CBD won’t get you “high”

Cannabis is a complex plant that consists of over 400 chemical entities, of which more than 60 of the chemical compounds are cannabinoids. CBD and THC are two of the most well-known phytocannabinoids that are naturally produced in significant amounts in the cannabis plant. However, CBD is not intoxicating and impairing, meaning it won’t get you “high”. According to a recent review of CBD done by an expert committee of the World Health Organization (WHO), CBD alone is not habit-forming. The use of pure CBD is not associated with addiction or dependence, although it does not mean CBD is completely risk-free and 100% harmless.
CBD is one of those cannabinoids that can also be derived from hemp or non-hemp plants like cannabis. In 2018, a law was passed in the U.S. that effectively legalized CBD that comes from hemp. Products with CBD derived from hemp are now marketed in many consumer products like foods, oils, and cosmetics in Canada and some states of the U.S. In the same year, Canada legalized the non-medical use of cannabis, we can now access cannabis products with CBD through licensed sellers like us, offside cannabis.

CBD and the endocannabinoid system

Many believe CBD is not psychoactive, simply because it does not give us the sensation that THC offers. But that’s not true, CBD is just taking up another role and doing it differently. Before we dig into how CBD works in our bodies, we have to bring in the endocannabinoid system for our discussion, in order to understand how CBD balances out the unwanted effects of THC.
The endocannabinoid system is a very complex regulatory system found within animals, human-being is one of them. It regulates diverse functions including memory, digestion, immune response, and more. CB1 and CB2 are the primary subtypes of classical cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system that are distributed throughout the central nervous and immune systems and within many other tissues, including our brain.
The CB1 receptor is expressed throughout the brain when endocannabinoids – the naturally occurring lipid-based neurotransmitters that send signals between nerve cells, combine with CB1 to form a “circuit breaker”. In fact, THC is the only compound that robustly activates the CB1 receptor. When THC mimics an endocannabinoid by binding to this receptor, it creates a sense of euphoria.
While THC activates the CB1 receptor and brings out the psychoactive effects of cannabis, CBD binds the receptor very weakly and plays its role in psychoactivity in a different manner. Instead of producing a “high”, it reduces the unwanted psychoactive effects of THC, such as sedation. Cannabis compounds in cannabis plants tend to work together in synergy and deliver what is often referred to as an entourage effect.

Benefits to our well-being

CBD has been advertised in many places as providing relief for stress disorders, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. But does it work exactly how it was promoted? CBD does work for some conditions, but not all. For example, there is no evidence of CBD as a cure for cancer. However, there is moderate evidence that CBD can improve sleep disorders and anxiety, or even help lower chronic pain and inflammation. Studies also exhibited that CBD seems to act faster than conventional antidepressants in some cases.
CBD has been touted for a variety of health issues in different research and studies, but one of its strongly scientifically-proven effectiveness is treating childhood epilepsy syndromes that typically do not respond to antiseizure medications. CBD was proven to be able to reduce the number of seizures in numerous studies.
Canadians can access cannabis in the form of dried plant material or other cannabis products like oils for medical purposes, but only from licensed producers with the authorization of their health care providers. Since cannabis for non-medical use was legalized in October 2018, cannabis products can be easily accessed from licensed retailers. But those cannabis products are for recreational use by adults only.

Adverse effects

CBD can have adverse side effects. In some clinical studies, side effects like drowsiness, nausea, fatigue and irritability are reported. Abnormalities in liver-related blood tests may be shown in people who take a high dosage. CBD can also increase the level of blood thinning and the concentration of some medicines in our blood because it may compete for liver enzymes that break down those medicines. CBD is not risk-free, you may want to consult for professional advice if you are unsure about the type of products or dosage that are right for you. If you notice or experience adverse or allergic reactions after using CBD, you should seek medical help.

Other cannabinoids and more

Ever wonder what is the difference between cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabinoid (CBN), or ever being curious about the myth of indica and sativa? There are many more cannabinoids and chemical constituents produced within the cannabis plant yet to be explored. Currently, we publish articles under the Terpene Spotlight Series to outline the effects and benefits of different terpenes. Go check them out if you want to know more about what gives the aroma in cannabis and how terpene-dominant cannabis works with our bodies.

Terpene Spotlight: Linalool

Terpene Spotlight: Linalool

terpene spotlight: linalool

Welcome back to another edition of our terpene spotlight series. each article of this series explores a specific terpene and outlines its effects and benefits within cannabis. To recap, terpenes are scented compounds that produce a unique taste and smell in plants like lavender, fresh oranges, and of course, cannabis. Terpenes are also meant to work with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to do the best job of cannabis. In the previous three editions, we have learnt about myrcene, pinene and limonene, and today we’re going to highlight a terpene that gives out a characteristic lavender scent – linalool.

What’s linalool?

Linalool is a floral and spicy terpene alcohol found in many flowers and plants, like lavender and coriander. This colourless oil acts as a metabolite, antimicrobial agent, and aroma compound in plants, which gives off a complex yet delicate floral aroma with a hint of spiciness. Linalool has significant medicinal benefits, which makes it one of the most commonly used terpenes by patients or those seeking balance in health and wellness.

 

In fact, you may have consumed linalool before, as linalool has been used in manufacturing products, like soaps, fragrances, household products and food additives, as a flavouring agent, although it may be called a different name – cariandrol. That’s why non-cannabis users are said to consume up to 2 grams of linalool every year. This amount of linalool may seem to be quite a bit to some, but there is very little risk of adverse effects indeed, as linalool does not stay in one’s body for long nor accumulate in the fatty tissues of our body or brain.

Lower stress levels and more

The benefits and effects of linalool are multitudinous, however, it is most widely used as a substance for the reduction of anxiety. Since ancient times, humans have started inhaling the scent of certain plants that may contain linalool to help lower their stress levels, fight inflammation, or combat depression.

 

This monoterpene compound is one of the most commonly found major components of essential oils of several aromatic species, many of which are traditionally used as sedatives. In the use of sufficient quantities, the serotonin released by linalool will help calm us down and fall asleep better.

 

Studies have shown that linalool could be a capable treatment for progressive brain diseases that cause cognitive and memory problems like alzheimer’s. Its sedative effects in larger quantities will also be significant enough to serve as a tranquillizer when administered properly by medical professionals.

Linalool in cannabis

We have already learnt how linalool is widely known for its relaxing and stress-relieving properties in the previous section, but linalool-heavy cannabis strains can actually do more than that. Since linalool is not the only component in a cannabis plant, it will interact with other terpenes and cannabinoids to create its unique traits. For example, when linalool interacts with limonene and cbd, it can help reduce anxiety or treat acne and other skin conditions like eczema. Some strains combine linalool with thc and cannabinol which enhance its soothing effects and help you sleep better.

 

The entourage effect – the phenomenon of the synergy between cannabinoids and terpenes, is what makes cannabis more valuable than terpenes or cannabinoids standalone. True efficacy relies on the combination of terpenes and cannabinoids, rather than an individual compound.

Best way to get most out of linalool

Gernally, a vaporizer with temperature control is usually the best way for you to get the most out of theterpenes found in cannabis. the optimal temperature for each terpene varies widely, so it is key to research the temperature of the desired terpenes you may want to release.

 

some strains are linalool heavy. in offside cannabis, we offer a few linalool-dominant options for you to choose from, including in both buds and vape carts. are also some that you may like.

 

Wedding Pie – Back Forty 

Back Forty, Wedding Pie is the marriage of wedding cake crossed with grape pie. This strain can reach very high potencies and is grown with organic practices. These vibrant green buds also have a flair of purple, almost three percent total terpene content and a spicy, cracked pepper profile. The top terpenes are trans-caryophyllene, linalool, farnesene, limonene and alpha-bisabolol.

 

Cherry Bomb – Jonny Chronic

Cherry Bomb generally has mild to moderate effects. It has gained popularity for daytime consumption. Effects take off fast, giving many consumers a strong buzz. Immediate effects tend to be active and mentally alert, but can border on antsy for some. With a tendency to smooth into a more focused state, you may want to tackle that to-do list or the next creative project. 


Mosa x Blood Orange – Mimosa and Blood Orange come together to offer a sweet orange flavour in a sativa-dominant hybrid cart with a terpene profile of limonene, alpha-pinene, and linalool.

Terpene Spotlight: Limonene

terpene spotlight: limonene

in this terpene spotlight series, we will explore a specific terpene each time and learn its effects and benefits within cannabis. terpenes are scented compounds that produce a unique taste and smell in plants like cannabis, lavender, and fresh orange peels. if you smell the “marijuana”, it’s the “terpene” that is doing its job. it is also meant to work together with cannabinoids like thc and cbd to do the best job of cannabis. each cannabis strain has many terpenes that form a complex aroma profile, and the highlight of today’s edition is limonene.

when cannabinoids meet terpenes

before diving into the benefits and effects of limonene, we need to first understand what makes cannabis “great”. this has something to do with the phenomenon of the synergy between cannabinoids and terpenes – the entourage effect. when cannabinoids like thc and cbd work together with terpenes and hundreds of other compounds in cannabis, it allows the beneficial effect to happen when consuming. meanwhile, terpenes can intensify or downplay the effects of the cannabinoids. that’s why two similar strains can actually produce extremely different effects.

but what’s limonene?

this citrusy terpene is common in fruit rinds and herbs like rosemary, as it is the second most common terpene in nature. limonene is used in food and beverages, and many more household items like cleaning products and soaps.


limonene is the third most commonly found terpene in marijuana. it gives one of the most distinct smells with a fresh and sweet-tart scent. some studies show that limonene has antidepressant qualities that potentially help relieve stress and elevate mood, as it increases serotonin and dopamine levels. in fact, aromatherapy is one of the examples that lauded the mood-boosting effects of limonene for a long time.

it’s more than a mood-booster

other than its potential on elevating your mood, limonene is also known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions. limonene can reduce heartburn, ulcers, and gallstones as it is gastroprotective. studies have also shown the use of limonene for effective treatments for anxiety and depression. and more research is exploring its anti-cancer potential along with other compounds in cannabis like cannabinoids.


best way to get most out of limonene

a vaporizer with temperature control may be the best way for you to get the most out of the terpene found in cannabis. the optimal temperature for each terpene varies widely, so it is key to research the temperature of the desired terpenes you may want to release. for example, if you want to enjoy the desired effects of limonene, its optimal temperature will be something you pay attention to.


some strains are rich in limonene, in offside cannabis, we offer a few limonene-dominant options for you to choose from, including pre-rolls, flower, or vapes. Not sure what is best for you? Visit our store to ask our budtenders for recommendations. Here are also some that you may like.

this is the second edition of our new terpene highlight series that will choose a specific terpene and discuss its effects and benefits within cannabis. this week we will highlight pinene.

pinene – what is it?

pinene is the most common terpene in the plant world and produced in large quantities from plants like basil, cedar, dill, eucalyptus, pine trees rosemary and many others!

pinene is often viewed as the easiest terpene to recognize within cannabis because of its strong pine scent, often reminding people of rosemary.

pinene comes in two forms – alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. alpha-pinene is significantly more common within cannabis.

studies involving pinene

researchers are looking into therapeutic and anti-inflammatory effects that may be associated with this terpene. there is also evidence of improving blood flow to the brain as well as mood-enhancing and neuroprotective benefits.

terpene highlight series

 

this is the first edition of our new terpene highlight series that will choose a specific terpene and discuss its effects and benefits within cannabis. This week we will highlight myrcene.

 

but first, what are terpenes?

 

they are naturally occurring chemical compounds responsible for cannabis strains’ varying characteristics. this includes their flavour, aroma and effects. various strains will have multiple terpenes present and their combination with each other (as well as with THC and CBD) will produce something called “the entourage effect”.

myrcene – what is it?

myrcene is one of the most common terpenes within cannabis strains in ontario, and is the most dominant terpene featured in over 20% of all strains available.

myrcene is found in mangoes, hops and basil and when present in cannabis, tends to produce a ‘relaxant’ or ‘sedative’ effect. cannabis strains that are myrcene dominant tend to smell a bit peppery, spicy, earthy and musky.

 

here are some strains we have across all our stores that are myrcene dominant – try them out today!

 

Spinach – Blue Dream Pre-Roll (Sat) – 1x1g
RIFF – Subway Scientist Pre-Roll (Ind) – 1x1g
Good Supply – Purple Monkey 510 Thread Cartridge (Ind) – 1g

Inside Offside

inside offside

And we’re off! Offside, that is… No, really. We’re offside cannabis, and we’re pleased to meet you! As a Canadian-owned and operated cannabis dispensary, steadily providing more and more retail (as well as online) services across Ontario, we thought we should formally introduce ourselves.

Fun fact? While we may look like the new kid on the block, we’ve actually been around for a while. We are the dispensary formally known as SPDR cannabis. Look at how we’ve grown!

At offside, we’re all about being on YOUR side… we’re your source for better bud at better prices.

Still, there are ALL sorts of cannabis dispensaries out there. What makes offside cannabis unique? It’s really about what you, the customers, are looking for.

In our case, we’ve discovered that the offside cannabis community typically knows what it wants. They know what’s available to them, they understand what the product they’re looking for should cost, and they’re after the best, most affordable, and efficient way(s) to get it, all with the highest-quality customer service.

But, believe it or not, we’re not perfect. From a price perspective, yes, we focus on being the best value for your dollar dispensary, but as hard as we try, sometimes you may be able to find a better price for the same product. Don’t worry, we have your back. If an offside customer finds a lower price through another retailer, we’ll price match in most cases.

Plus, we have offside rewards to make sure that you’re not only getting the best bud at the best prices, but you’re collecting points to boot.

Add to the what and how much, and it’s also about where. Offside is quite literally off to the side… serving big-city-adjacent communities, rather than upper, mid, or downtown core consumers. We’re ‘off-to-the-side’ of those markets, as well as the industry as a whole, meaning you’ll find us serving cannabis communities in Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Pickering, and (most recently!) Port Perry, instead of downtown Toronto.

How did we get off to such a strong start? Well, offside happens to be part of a larger group of very smart people at Delota Corp., a publicly-traded cannabis AND vape retailer that owns the offside cannabis and 180 Smoke brands.

Did you know 180 Smoke is Canada’s largest vape retailer? Including offside cannabis, Delota has almost 30 retail locations across Ontario, along with a huge e-commerce business.

The name ‘Delota’ itself refers to the chemical label for delta-9-THC, and iota is the ninth letter in the Greek alphabet (see? We told you they were smart… they know Greek!). Combined, the word Delota represents the company’s commitment to the retail cannabis market, but it also keeps the door open for like-minded, high-growth sectors like vape.

What does that mean for our community of consumers? It means we have the data, resources, and expertise to ensure you’re getting what you want, when you want it, how you want it, at a price that makes sense. It means we can balance all of that with locally-focused boutique services. And it means we can scale… more dispensaries in the locations that make the most sense. Smart, right?

For example, our new Port Perry location should be opening soon!

Hmm. We think that may just about cover it. If there’s anything else you want to learn more about, like:

product availability
new locations
questions around cannabis
inhaling versus ingesting (edibles) cannabis
cbd versus thc and how they work together
maybe you just want to share something about your experience (online or in-store)
the weather?
