[[Terpene]]s are the primary constituents of essential oils and are responsible for the aroma characteristics of the ''[[Cannabis]]'' plant. Together with [[cannabinoid]]s, terpenes illustrate a potential synergic and/or [[entourage effect]], with their interactions having only been speculated on for the last few decades. Hundreds of terpenes have been identified that additionally add to the overall cannabis sensory experience, contributing largely to the consumer’s experiences, as well as the market price. These terpenes also enhance many therapeutic efforts, especially as aromatherapy. To shed light on the importance of terpenes in the [[cannabis industry]], the purpose of this review is to morphologically describe sources of cannabis terpenes and to explain the [[biosynthesis]] and diversity of terpene profiles in different cannabis [[chemotype]]s.

"Cannabis sativa research trends, challenges, and new-age perspectives"

Cannabis sativa L. is one of the oldest known medicinal plants, cultivated for at least 10,000 years for several agricultural and industrial applications. However, the plant became controversial owing to some psychoactive components that have adverse effects on human health. In this review, we analyze the trends in cannabis research for the past two centuries. We discuss the historical transitions of cannabis from the category of "herbal medicine" to an illicit drug and back to a medicinal product post-legalization. In addition, we address the new-age application of immuno-suppressive and anti-inflammatory cannabis extracts for the treatment of COVID-19 inflammation. We further address the influence of the legal aspects of cannabis cultivation for medicinal, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological research ... (Full article...)
