So How Does Gorilla Breath Provide These Wonderful Effects and Benefits?
So we know that Gorilla Breath offers cannabis users therapeutic properties, but what is responsible for producing these effects? Continue reading and you’ll find out!
Cannabigerol (CBG)
Gorilla breath contains about 1% CBG (Cannabigerol), an uncommon type of cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. However, even in its low quantities, it has powerful therapeutic effects. In this case, it could be where Gorilla breath gets its Glaucoma treating properties from.
Myrcene
Myrcene is the most dominant terpene found in the strain with Pinene and Caryophyllene as the runner ups. A cannabis terpene is a naturally occurring chemical compound responsible for the aromas, flavours and colours of many plants.
In cannabis, they may also work with cannabinoids to produce strain-specific effects and benefits. Myrcene is a dominant terpene found in cannabis plants but is also found in hops.
Myrcene is claimed to determine whether a strain has a cerebral high or a body high. A larger concentration of Myrcene is said to be responsible for sedative and relaxing effects, aka couch-lock commonly associated with Indica varieties. This is perhaps why Gorilla Breath is a highly sedative and relaxing strain.
Pinene
Pinene is the second most dominant terpene found in Gorilla breath. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the scent of this terpene. Here’s a hint: Pine-ne. You probably guessed it already, but this is where Gorilla breath gets its pine-like aroma from.
Caryophyllene
Lastly, Caryophyllene is where Gorilla breath gets its pungent earthy aroma from. Squirt is another strain that contains high amounts of Caryophyllene.
This terpene also has positive health effects such as having pain-relieving properties, anxiety and depression reducing qualities, and could help with treating addiction. In addition, it’s also an antioxidant, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory agent. Some studies even suggest it could increase lifespan by decreasing gene stress.
