Are you looking for an upbeat and calm cannabis flower that is easy to grow? Pineapple Express is considered a Sativa hybrid. It has a refreshing citrus-pepper scent. This herb can be used to provide high-THC relief from swelling.
The History Of Pineapple Express
While it can be difficult or impossible to trace the origins of most cannabis varieties, this plant is rumored as a cross between the Trainwreck and Hawaiian hybrids.
Hawaiian is also known as a Sativa or hybrid plant. It is a plant that does not originate from Hawaii, but that has developed adaptations to that climate over many generations.
Pineapple Express, which has been around for some time, is likely to now display many different phenotypes.
However, Pineapple Express plants may show markedly different characteristics from those grown in other locations.
Although the Pineapple Express variety has some characteristics, they can be very different from one to the other.
Pineapple Express – The Effects
High in Tetrahydrocannabinol, you can expect to experience significant psychoactive effects.
The plant can yield more than 20%, making it ideal for consumers who are familiarized with THC’s state of altered consciousness.
THC levels high in this plant are likely to cause a rapid, euphoric experience.
Consumers might feel the need for laughter, be less concerned with worries or concerns that are not in the moment, and have a fuzzy sense of time.
THC highs can cause some side effects. High doses of the compound can cause anxiety, racing hearts, and paranoia.
It is recommended that you start slowly and gradually increasing your dose of THC.
Popular culture refers to this cultivar as an energizing, but not overly sedative, flower.
However, laboratory tests of the strain show a completely different story.
Pineapple Express might be less sedative and more psychoactive than some cannabis strains. However, it may provide a low-key, mellow experience along with mental uplift.
Pineapple Express’s Medicinal Properties
Pineapple Express doesn’t just contain high levels of THC.
Current Thought explains that each plant has its unique effects due to the interaction between THC (the cannabinoids) and the herb’s aromatic molecules.
The plant’s aroma can give you an idea of the strain’s potential health benefits. Terpenes, which are aroma molecules made by plants, are also known as terpenes.
Laboratory testing will enable you to determine what terpenes the plants will produce.
These are the most common terpenes that the Pineapple Express strain has, based on lab data
- Beta-Caryophyllene
Some terpenes within the cannabis plant might have more therapeutic value than others.
One of the best candidates is beta-Caryophyllene which has a peppery terpene.
BCP is the only terpene to act in the body uniquely.
Cannabinoids can be described as compounds like THC, CBD (CBD), and other compounds produced by cannabis plants.
BCP, which is similar to a cannabinoid like THC or CBD, connects with some cell receptors.
BCP is however not addictive.
Early tests of this compound showed that it could have antidepressant, anxiolytic, and antidepressant actions. The compound may also exhibit anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating, and immuno-modulating properties.
- Myrcene
Myrcene, which is one of the most frequently found cannabis terpenes in the market, is also a sedative component that can be found in lemongrass.
Because of its muscle relaxation and tranquilizing properties, this compound could be responsible for “couch locking”, which is a common effect in some cannabis strains.
Pineapple Express has myrcene which may lead to a slightly drowsy feeling with some pain relief effects.
The effects of this strain’s terpene may also be increased by muscle tension or other signs of stress.
- Limonene
While myrcene acts as a sedative, limonene appears to have the reverse effect. This terpene emits a strong citrus aroma. It is believed that it has energetic and uplifting properties.
Limonene (one of the most common terpenes) is an antioxidant that has potential cancer-preventative and antidepressant effects.
Early studies showed anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects of limonene.
Pineapple Express cannabis may have high concentrations of Limonene. This strain can cause feelings of lift and ease. It can also help to alleviate inflammation and inflammatory pain.
