The Terpene Trio: Sativa, Indica, Hybrid
Welcome to the amazing world of cannabis terpenes at Nurse Wellness! This blog is your introduction into the smelly aromatic essences which define effects within cannabis. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning, understanding the nuances of terpenes between various strains of cannabis—Sativa, Indica, and hybrid—can influence your choice of cannabis products to a great extent.
Delving into the Essence of Terpenes
What are terpenes? Besides serving to please our senses, these are the aromatic compounds fundamental to the character of cannabis and its therapeutic effect. Terpenes do more than create memorable aromas; they enhance and alter the effects of THC and CBD through the “entourage effect.” This is the intricate dance between cannabinoids and terpenes, the reason each strain of cannabis affords a totally unique experience in suitable therapeutic or recreational needs.
The Energetic World of Sativa Terpenes
Welcome to the invigorating world of Sativa, where energy and creativity can take flight. Main players include:
- Limonene: Think lemon fresh, and this terpene slices through stress, lifting your mood.
- Pinene: Sharpen your focus while you breathe in the freshness of a forest, clearing the fog of THC.
- Strains like Super Lemon Haze and Jack Herer are full of terpenes and are ideal to take during the day when you need a little bit of energy and alertness.
The Soothing Aura of Indica Terpenes
The indica strains are truly all about good taste for the relief of anxiety and relaxation:
- Myrcene: This terpene is similar to the ground after a rain—musky, tranquil, great for sedation, and relaxation.
- Linalool: This is the floral, peaceful one that’s your pal for clearing the head and slipping into restful sleep.
- Treat yourself to strains like Granddaddy Purple and Blueberry and be wrapped in a shroud of tranquility after a taxing day.
The Balanced Symphony of Hybrid Terpenes
Hybrids combine the best of both Sativa and Indica worlds, with an even balance of terpenes:
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and bold; it could go straight to your body’s receptors and relieve inflammation.
- Humulene: Earthy and mild, it complements caryophyllene in the quest to reduce inflammation.
- Look through varieties such as OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies, which provide a balanced effect and are self-adjusting to your liking throughout the day.
Finding the right cannabis strain for you is quite an art, not a science, but there are several steps to help you along the way:
Chase Your Desired Effects: What are you seeking from cannabis? Are you looking to relax, relieve pain, gain mental clarity, or perhaps just experience an emotional lift? Know your desires to guide your strain choices.
Estimate Your Experience Level: Your history of cannabis is what shapes your tolerance. Newbies may gravitate toward more subtle THC and higher CBD strains, while seasoned warriors may be ready to tiptoe into more potent territory. Embark on Trials: Because everyone’s reaction is different, you have to experiment with a few strains to discover personal harmony.
Consult Budtenders: Learn from the expertise of the professional team at Nurse Wellness to tailor your cannabis journey to your needs.

3Chi: Comfortably Numb Delta 8 THC & CBN Tincture
3Chi: Comfortably Numb Delta 8 THC & CBN Tincture
Our Comfortably Numb oil is a 1:1 ratio of Delta 8 THC and CBN, with CBC and a proprietary terpene blend high in beta-caryophyllene to maximize sedative-like and relaxing effects. CBN helps temper the energetic aspects of Delta 8 THC to bring an extremely comfortable and relaxed body-focused feeling. This blend is perfect for soothing relief and taking it easy. This is not a blend meant for activity. Consult your physician before use. This product could cause you to fail a drug test.
What is CBN?
CBN is a degradation product of Delta 9 THC with minimal intoxication and is reported to be great at providing calming sensations and nighttime relief.
What is Delta 8 THC?
Delta 8 THC is an isomer of CBD and is another cannabinoid found in hemp and hemp extracts. While Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC have similar names, they are distinctly different compounds with distinctly different characteristics, and there are clear-cut reasons why delta 8 THC was made fully federally legal by H.R. 2: The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 and delta 9 THC was limited to a maximum content of 0.3%.

Comfortably Numb Oil Tincture Directions
Take with or after food for best results. This 1oz bottle comes with a metered dropper for easy, accurate dosing. These oils are sublingual, which means they are designed to be dropped UNDER your tongue and held there for at least 1-2 minutes. The many blood vessels in that area will absorb the cannabinoids directly into the blood stream, bypassing digestion for a typically quicker onset time than gummies and better bioavailability.
CBN is ineffective for about 1/3 of people. There will still be a feeling from using this cartridge as Delta 8 and CBC will still be effective, but it may not make you as tired as expected. CBC typically makes CBN more effective even for users who feel no effects from CBN alone.
