Palmer Jane learned the hard way, finding the right cannabis product isn’t easy. After so much time researching and experimenting with no luck, she decided there had to be a better way. That’s why Palmer Jane arrived at her Signature 7 benefits of cannabis for women. These are the benefits that she deems to be the most important for other women out there to live their best lives. Whether that means just getting a sound night of sleep or reviving your sex life with your partner, you’ll find that Palmer Jane’s Signature 7 system is broken out into easy to understand sections. The system recognizes the most important factors to consider when selecting a cannabis product: dose, CBD/THC ratio, terpenes, and time of use.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that can actually be found in all plants. The easiest one to think of might be linalool which is found in cannabis but is also very prevalent in lavender. If you have ever done aromatherapy with lavender oil, then you’ll know exactly how terpenes work. The aromatic compounds are released from the plant and are absorbed by our body. In the case of lavender you may have experienced just how relaxing linalool can be. As cannabis science has evolved, scientists are understanding that terpenes are in fact one of the major contributing factors to how the cannabis plant interacts with our bodies. They are also to blame for some of the reported “couch-lock” symptoms that certain marijuana strains have been notorious for. Understanding these terpenes will help you gain a better understanding of how diverse the different effects of cannabis really can be.
Myrcene is a sedating terpene that can also be found in mangoes. | Linalool is a relaxing terpene that can also be found in lavender and basil. | Limonene as the name suggests, is found in citrus. | Terpinolene is known to be invigorating, yet also calming as it surpresses our central nervous system. This terpene is rarely a predominant terpene, but rather a secondary or tertiary in a strain. | Pinene - that's right, also found in pine trees, is known to be uplifting and to bring clarity to your mind. Think about a crisp walk in the forest. That's enough to get you amped to tackle any task, right? | Also found in black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon. | Geraniol is found in roses. It has a sweet notable floral aroma. This terpene has been used by women in the middle east for centuries to treat PMS. By vaporizing damask rose oil they were able to lessen their symptoms. |
Weed is the new wine. You heard it here first. We wanted to conceptualize the proper dose and our intensity levels for our customers with something that felt familiar – what better way than with a beautiful wine glass? You’ll find these wine glasses throughout the entire Palmer Jane website. They are used to represent intensity and dose. Keep in mind that these are two different things. Dose is how much you take of something, and intensity is how strong the product is to begin with. Think about wine vs. vodka, both of them have the potential to intoxicate you, but it is going to take a lot more wine than vodka to do that. The same concept applies here, if a product is high in intensity, but the recommended dose for the benefit is low, then that means consume with caution and very lightly. Imagine taking a sip of vodka vs. two shots. You’ll feel way different even though the product itself hasn’t changed!
