TL;DR | Quick Summary
Cannabis offers anti-inflammatory benefits through key compounds like terpenes and cannabinoids, which help alleviate chronic inflammation and discomfort. Caryophyllene, Humulene, Bisabolol, Myrcene, and Nerolidol are notable terpenes, while CBD and CBG are prominent cannabinoids. OG Lab strains such as AC/DC CBD and Banana Hammock RBX1 are crafted to support these effects, especially in contexts like joint stress and immune reactivity.

Anti-inflammatory Effect

Overview

Many cannabinoids and terpenes are associated with anti-inflammatory properties, helping to lower chronic background irritation, swelling, immune overreaction, and tissue sensitivity.

This effect is often discussed in the context of body discomfort, digestive sensitivity, joint stress, skin reactivity, and inflammation linked to prolonged stress.

Related terpenes

  • Caryophyllene - associated with CB2-linked inflammatory balance

  • Humulene - linked to local inflammatory response modulation, especially in respiratory context

  • Bisabolol - supportive of skin and mucosal recovery

  • Myrcene - associated with softening of inflammation-linked discomfort

  • Nerolidol - background tissue recovery, often discussed in sleep-related contexts

Cannabinoids

  • CBD - frequently described as non-intoxicating and inflammation-supportive

  • CBG - associated with neural and microbial balance

  • THC - in smaller amounts is described as inflammation-dampening, while higher exposure is discussed as potentially increasing oxidative load

OG Lab strains by profile

  • AC/DC CBD - daytime inflammatory background support

  • Banana Hammock RBX1 - evening body comfort and recovery tone

  • White Whale CBG - linked to emotional and somatic tension profiles

Contextual associations

This effect is most often described alongside:

  • chronic background inflammation

  • tissue irritation

  • immune overreaction

  • recovery-oriented states
