The Entourage Effect aka Cannabis Synergism
from Cannabis Science Podcast · host Dr. Ricardo Rivera
I’m sure many people have heard about the “Entourage Effect”, also known as synergism between cannabinoids and other compound in cannabis. But is that actually true? Can the compounds in cannabis really come together to create a significantly different effect or is it just that these compounds are each beneficial and are able to coexist together. Each one having a specific beneficial effect that is simply present or not depending whether you have the compounds there or not. In essence, is the saying “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” an old stoner folktale or scientific fact? In this listener requested episode we’ve decided to bring in to the studio Dr. Cris Alves to help us properly answer this fascinating question.
