Tetrahydrocannabinol THC has been the primary focus of cannabis research since , when Raphael Mechoulam isolated and synthesized it. More recently, the synergistic contributions of cannabidiol to cannabis pharmacology and analgesia have been scientifically demonstrated. Other phytocannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabivarin, cannabigerol and cannabichromene, exert additional effects of therapeutic interest. Innovative conventional plant breeding has yielded cannabis chemotypes expressing high titres of each component for future study. Terpenoids share a precursor with phytocannabinoids, and are all flavour and fragrance components common to human diets that have been designated Generally Recognized as Safe by the US Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies. They display unique therapeutic effects that may contribute meaningfully to the entourage effects of cannabis-based medicinal extracts. Particular focus will be placed on phytocannabinoid-terpenoid interactions that could produce synergy with respect to treatment of pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety, addiction, epilepsy, cancer, fungal and bacterial infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Scientific evidence is presented for non-cannabinoid plant components as putative antidotes to intoxicating effects of THC that could increase its therapeutic index. Methods for investigating entourage effects in future experiments will be proposed. Phytocannabinoid-terpenoid synergy, if proven, increases the likelihood that an extensive pipeline of new therapeutic products is possible from this venerable plant. This article is part of a themed issue on Cannabinoids in Biology and Medicine. Keywords: cannabinoids, terpenoids, essential oils, THC, CBD, limonene, pinene, linalool, caryophyllene, phytotherapy. Cannabis has been a medicinal plant of unparalleled versatility for millennia Mechoulam, ; Russo, ; ; , but whose mechanisms of action were an unsolved mystery until the discovery of tetrahydrocannabinol THC Gaoni and Mechoulam, a , the first cannabinoid receptor, CB 1 Devane et al. Only recently has renewed interest been manifest in THC analogues, while other key components of the activity of cannabis and its extracts, the cannabis terpenoids, remain understudied McPartland and Russo, b ; Russo and McPartland, The current review will reconsider essential oil EO agents, their peculiar pharmacology and possible therapeutic interactions with phytocannabinoids. Nomenclature follows conventions in Alexander et al. Phytocannabinoids and terpenoids are synthesized in cannabis, in secretory cells inside glandular trichomes Figure 1 that are most highly concentrated in unfertilized female flowers prior to senescence Potter, ; Potter, Geranyl pyrophosphate is formed as a precursor via the deoxyxylulose pathway in cannabis Fellermeier et al. After coupling with either olivetolic acid or divarinic acid, pentyl or propyl cannabinoid acids are produced, respectively, via enzymes that accept either substrate de Meijer et al. Although having important biochemical properties in their own right, acid forms of phytocannabinoids are most commonly decarboxylated via heat to produce the more familiar neutral phytocannabinoids Table 1. Alternatively, geranyl pyrophosphate may form limonene and other monoterpenoids in secretory cell plastids, or couple with isopentenyl pyrophosphate in the cytoplasm to form farnesyl pyrophosphate, parent compound to the sesquiterpenoids, that co-localizes with transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor TRPV 1 in human dorsal root ganglion, suggesting a role in sensory processing of noxious stimuli Bradshaw et al. An obvious question pertains to the chemical ecology of such syntheses that require obvious metabolic demands on the plant Gershenzon, , and these will be considered. Is cannabis merely a crude vehicle for delivery of THC? Might it rather display herbal synergy Williamson, encompassing potentiation of activity by active or inactive components, antagonism evidenced by the ability of CBD to reduce side effects of THC; Russo and Guy, , summation, pharmacokinetic and metabolic interactions? Recently, four basic mechanisms of synergy have been proposed Wagner and Ulrich-Merzenich, : i multi-target effects; ii pharmacokinetic effects such as improved solubility or bioavailability; iii agent interactions affecting bacterial resistance; and iv modulation of adverse events. Cannabis was cited as an illustration. Support derives from studies in which cannabis extracts demonstrated effects two to four times greater than THC Carlini et al. Older literature also presented refutations: no observed differences were noted by humans ingesting or smoking pure THC versus herbal cannabis Wachtel et al. Explanations include that the cannabis employed by Wachtel yielded 2. Another factor is apparent in that terpenoid yields from vaporization of street cannabis were 4. It is undisputed that the black market cannabis in the UK Potter et al. THC production is maximized with increased light energy Potter, More pertinent, however, is the mechanical stickiness of the trichomes, capable of trapping insects with all six legs Potter, Normally, the cannabinoid acids are sequestered in trichomes away from the flower tissues. Any trichome breakage at senescence may contribute to natural pruning of lower fan leaves that otherwise utilize energy that the plant preferentially diverts to the flower, in continued efforts to affect fertilization, generally in vain when subject to human horticulture for pharmaceutical production. Over phytocannabinoids have been identified Brenneisen, ; Mehmedic et al. The pharmacology of the more accessible phytocannabinoids has received excellent recent reviews Pertwee et al. THC Table 1 is the most common phytocannabinoid in cannabis drug chemotypes, and is produced in the plant via an allele co-dominant with CBD de Meijer et al. THC is a partial agonist at CB 1 and cannabinoid receptor 2 CB 2 analogous to AEA, and underlying many of its activities as a psychoactive agent, analgesic, muscle relaxant and antispasmodic Pacher et al. Additionally, it is a bronchodilator Williams et al. THC is likely to avoid potential pitfalls of either COX-1 or COX-2 inhibition, as such activity is only noted at concentrations far above those attained therapeutically Stott et al. CBD is the most common phytocannabinoid in fibre hemp plants, and second most prevalent in some drug chemotypes. It has proven extremely versatile pharmacologically Table 1 Pertwee, ; Mechoulam et al. CBD is an analgesic Costa et al. A CBD extract showed greater anti-hyperalgesia over pure compound in a rat model with decreased allodynia, improved thermal perception and nerve growth factor levels and decreased oxidative damage Comelli et al. CBD also inhibits synthesis of lipids in sebocytes, and produces apoptosis at higher doses in a model of acne vide infra. This may represent true synergy if the THC—CBD combination were shown to provide a larger effect than a summation of those from the compounds separately Berenbaum, More pertinent are anti-inflammatory Wirth et al. CBC production is normally maximal, earlier in the plant's life cycle de Meijer et al. Analgesic and anti-erythemic effects and the ability to block lipooxygenase were said to surpass those of THC Evans, CBG demonstrated modest antifungal effects ElSohly et al. More recently, it proved to be an effective cytotoxic in high dosage on human epithelioid carcinoma Baek et al. Additionally, CBG inhibits keratinocyte proliferation suggesting utility in psoriasis Wilkinson and Williamson, , it is a relatively potent TRPM8 antagonist for possible application in prostate cancer De Petrocellis and Di Marzo, and detrusor over-activity and bladder pain Mukerji et al. A recrudescence of interest accrues to this compound, which is a CB 1 antagonist at lower doses Thomas et al. THCV produces weight loss, decreased body fat and serum leptin concentrations with increased energy expenditure in obese mice Cawthorne et al. THCV also demonstrates prominent anticonvulsant properties in rodent cerebellum and pyriform cortex Hill et al. THCV appears as a fractional component of many southern African cannabis chemotypes, although plants highly predominant in this agent have been produced de Meijer, THCV recently demonstrated a CB 2 -based ability to suppress carageenan-induced hyperalgesia and inflammation, and both phases of formalin-induced pain behaviour via CB 1 and CB 2 in mice Bolognini et al. It is also anticonvulsant in rodent hippocampal brain slices, comparable to phenobarbitone and felbamate Jones et al. It has a lower affinity for CB 1 K i CBN demonstrated anticonvulsant Turner et al. Like CBG, it inhibits keratinocyte proliferation Wilkinson and Williamson, , independently of cannabinoid receptor effects. Terpenoids, not cannabinoids, are responsible for the aroma of cannabis. Over have been reported in the plant Hendriks et al. Monoterpenes usually predominate limonene, myrcene, pinene , but these headspace volatiles Hood et al. Evolutionarily, terpenoids seem to occur in complex and variable mixtures with marked structural diversity to serve various ecological roles. The particular mixture of mono- and sesquiterpenoids will determine viscosity, and in cannabis, this certainly is leveraged to practical advantage as the notable stickiness of cannabis exudations traps insects McPartland et al. As observed for cannabinoids, terpenoid production increases with light exposure, but decreases with soil fertility Langenheim, , and this is supported by the glasshouse experience that demonstrates higher yields if plants experience relative nitrogen lack just prior to harvest Potter, , favouring floral over foliar growth. EO composition is much more genetically than environmentally determined, however Franz and Novak, , and while cannabis is allogamous and normally requires repeat selective breeding for maintenance of quality, this problem may be practically circumvented by vegetative propagation of high-performance plants under controlled environmental conditions light, heat and humidity Potter, , and such techniques have proven to provide notable consistency to tight tolerances as Good Manufacturing Practice for any pharmaceutical would require Fischedick et al. Terpenoids are pharmacologically versatile: they are lipophilic, interact with cell membranes, neuronal and muscle ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, G-protein coupled odorant receptors, second messenger systems and enzymes Bowles, ; Buchbauer, All the terpenoids discussed herein are Generally Recognized as Safe, as attested by the US Food and Drug Administration as food additives, or by the Food and Extract Manufacturers Association and other world regulatory bodies. Germane is the observation Adams and Taylor, p. Additionally, all the current entries are non-sensitizing to skin when fresh Tisserand and Balacs, ; Adams and Taylor, , but may cause allergic reactions at very low rates when oxidized Matura et al. Are cannabis terpenoids actually relevant to the effects of cannabis? Terpenoid components in concentrations above 0. Animal studies are certainly supportive Buchbauer et al. These levels are comparable to those of THC measured in humans receiving cannabis extracts yielding therapeutic effects in pain, or symptoms of multiple sclerosis in various randomized controlled trials RCTs Russo, ; Huestis, Positive effects at undetectable serum concentrations with orange terpenes primarily limonene, A similar rationale pertains to human studies Komori et al. EO mixtures including limonene and pinene also increase permeation of estradiol through mouse skin Monti et al. Government-approved cannabis supplied to patients in national programmes in the Netherlands and Canada is gamma-irradiated to sterilize coliform bacteria, but the safety of this technique for a smoked and inhaled product has never been specifically tested. Gamma-radiation significantly reduced linalool titres in fresh cilantro Fan and Sokorai, , and myrcene and linalool in orange juice Fan and Gates, Unfortunately, these pathways have not yet been investigated in cannabis. The ubiquity of limonene serves, perhaps, as a demonstration of convergent evolution that supports an important ecological role for this monoterpene. Studies with varying methodology and dosing in citrus oils in mice suggest it to be a powerful anxiolytic agent Carvalho-Freitas and Costa, ; Pultrini Ade et al. Compelling confirmatory evidence in humans was provided in a clinical study Komori et al. Subsequent investigation in cancer treatment has centred on its immediate hepatic metabolite, perillic acid, which demonstrates anti-stress effects in rat brain Fukumoto et al. A patent has been submitted, claiming that limonene effectively treats gastro-oesophageal reflux Harris, Citrus EOs containing limonene proved effective against dermatophytes Sanguinetti et al. As noted above, limonene is highly bioavailable Falk-Filipsson et al. It is highly non-toxic estimated human lethal dose 0. It is non-mutagenic in the Ames test Gomes-Carneiro et al. Myrcene is a recognized sedative as part of hops preparations Humulus lupulus , employed to aid sleep in Germany Bisset and Wichtl, Furthermore, myrcene acted as a muscle relaxant in mice, and potentiated barbiturate sleep time at high doses do Vale et al. It appears in conifers and innumerable plant EOs, with an insect-repellent role. It is anti-inflammatory via PGE-1 Gil et al. Pinene is a major component of Sideritis spp. Kose et al. EOs Ozek et al. Beyond this, it seems to be a broad-spectrum antibiotic Nissen et al. Perhaps most compelling, however, is its activity as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor aiding memory Perry et al. This feature could counteract short-term memory deficits induced by THC intoxication vide infra. D-Linalool is a monoterpenoid alcohol Table 2 , common to lavender Lavandula angustifolia , whose psychotropic anxiolytic activity has been reviewed in detail Russo, Interestingly, linalyl acetate, the other primary terpenoid in lavender, hydrolyses to linalool in gastric secretions Bickers et al. Linalool proved sedating to mouse activity on inhalation Buchbauer et al. In traditional aromatherapy, linalool is the likely suspect in the remarkable therapeutic capabilities of lavender EO to alleviate skin burns without scarring Gattefosse, Pertinent to this, the local anaesthetic effects of linalool Re et al. It is also anti-nociceptive at high doses in mice via ionotropic glutamate receptors Batista et al. Linalool demonstrated anticonvulsant and anti-glutamatergic activity Elisabetsky et al. These effects were summarized Nunes et al. Linalool also proved to be a powerful anti-leishmanial agent do Socorro et al. It is frequently the predominant terpenoid overall in cannabis extracts, particularly if they have been processed under heat for decarboxylation Guy and Stott, Caryophyllene is common to black pepper Piper nigrum and Copaiba balsam Copaifera officinalis Lawless, It is anti-inflammatory via PGE-1, comparable in potency to the toxic phenylbutazone Basile et al. In contrast to the latter agents, however, caryophyllene was a gastric cytoprotective Tambe et al. Caryophyllene may have contributed to antimalarial effects as an EO component Campbell et al. Perhaps the greatest revelation regarding caryophyllene has been its demonstration as a selective full agonist at CB 2 nM , the first proven phytocannabinoid beyond the cannabis genus Gertsch et al. Given the lack of attributed psychoactivity of CB 2 agonists, caryophyllene offers great promise as a therapeutic compound, whether systemically, or in dermatological applications such as contact dermatitis Karsak et al. Sensitization reactions are quite rare, and probably due to oxidized product Skold et al. Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene alcohol with sedative properties Binet et al. It diminished experimentally induced formation of colon adenomas in rats Wattenberg, It was an effective agent for enhancing skin penetration of 5-fluorouracil Cornwell and Barry, This could be a helpful property in treating fungal growth, where it is also an inhibitor Langenheim, It seems to have anti-protozoal parasite control benefits, as a potent antimalarial Lopes et al. Nerolidol is non-toxic and non-sensitizing Lapczynski et al. Caryophyllene oxide Table 2 is a sesquiterpenoid oxide common to lemon balm Melissa officinalis , and to the eucalyptus, Melaleuca stypheloides , whose EO contains Caryophyllene oxide is non-toxic and non-sensitizing Opdyke, This agent also demonstrates anti-platelet aggregation properties in vitro Lin et al. Caryophyllene oxide has the distinction of being the component responsible for cannabis identification by drug-sniffing dogs Stahl and Kunde, Phytol Table 2 is a diterpene McGinty et al. Phytol prevented vitamin A-induced teratogenesis by inhibiting conversion of retinol to a harmful metabolite, all- trans -retinoic acid Arnhold et al. Phytol increased GABA expression via inhibition of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, one of its degradative enzymes Bang et al. Thus, the presence of phytol could account for the alleged relaxing effect of wild lettuce Lactuca sativa , or green tea Camellia sinensis , despite the latter's caffeine content. AEA simulates lipid production in human sebocytes of sebaceous glands at low concentrations, but induces apoptosis at higher levels, suggesting that this system is under ECS control Dobrosi et al. Given the observed ability of CBD to be absorbed transcutaneously, it offers great promise to attenuate the increased sebum production at the pathological root of acne. Cannabis terpenoids could offer complementary activity. Linalool alone demonstrated an MIC of 0. Both EOs inhibited P. In a similar manner, pinene was the most potent component of a tea-tree eucalyptus EO in suppression of P. Considering the known minimal toxicities of CBD and these terpenoids and the above findings, new acne therapies utilizing whole CBD-predominant extracts, via multi-targeting Wagner and Ulrich-Merzenich, , may present a novel and promising therapeutic approach that poses minimal risks in comparison to isotretinoin. Amongst terpenoids, pinene was a major component of Sideritis erythrantha EO that was as effective against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains as vancomycin and other agents Kose et al. A Salvia rosifolia EO with The ability of monoterpenoids to enhance skin permeability and entry of other drugs may further enhance antibiotic benefits Wagner and Ulrich-Merzenich, Scientific investigation of the therapeutic application of terpenoids in psychiatry has been hampered by methodological concerns, subjective variability of results and a genuine dearth of appropriate randomized controlled studies of high quality Russo, ; Bowles, ; Lis-Balchin, The same is true of phytocannabinoids Fride and Russo, Abundant evidence supports the key role of the ECS in mediating depression Hill and Gorzalka, a , b ; , as well as anxiety, whether induced by aversive stimuli, such as post-traumatic stress disorder Marsicano et al. With respect to the latter risk, the presence of CBD in smoked cannabis based on hair analysis seems to be a mitigating factor reducing its observed incidence Morgan and Curran, A thorough review of cannabis and psychiatry is beyond the scope of this article, but several suggestions are offered with respect to possible therapeutic synergies operative with phytocannabinoids-terpenoid combinations. Certainly the results obtained in human depression solely with a citrus scent Komori et al. Enriched odour exposure in adult mice induced olfactory system neurogenesis Rochefort et al. Phytocannabinoid-terpenoid synergy might theoretically apply. The myriad effects of CBD on 5-HT 1A activity provide a strong rationale for this and other phytocannabinoids as base compounds for treatment of anxiety. Newer findings, particularly imaging studies of CBD in normal individuals in anxiety models Fusar-Poli et al. Even more compelling is a recent randomized control trial of pure CBD in patients with social anxiety disorder with highly statistical improvements over placebo in anxiety and cognitive impairment Crippa et al. Addition of anxiolytic limonene and linalool could contribute to the clinical efficacy of a CBD extract. THC was demonstrated effective in a small crossover clinical trial versus placebo in 11 agitated dementia patients with Alzheimer's disease Volicer et al. Certainly, the anti-anxiety and anti-psychotic effects of CBD may be of additional benefit Zuardi et al. A recent study supports the concept that CBD, when present in significant proportion to THC, is capable of eliminating induced cognitive and memory deficits in normal subjects smoking cannabis Morgan et al. Psychopharmacological effects of limonene, pinene and linalool could putatively extend benefits in mood in such patients. The effects of cannabis on sleep have been reviewed Russo et al. Certainly, terpenoids with pain-relieving, anti-anxiety or sedative effects may supplement such activity, notably, caryophyllene, linalool and myrcene. The issue of cannabis addiction remains controversial. Some benefit of oral THC has been noted in cannabis withdrawal Hart et al. More intriguing, perhaps, are claims of improvement on other substance dependencies, particularly cocaine Labigalini et al. The situation with CBD is yet more promising. The authors proposed CBD as a treatment for heroin craving and addiction relapse. A recent study demonstrated the fascinating result that patients with damage to the insula due to cerebrovascular accident were able to quit tobacco smoking without relapse or urges Naqvi et al. Further study has confirmed the role of the insula in cocaine, alcohol and heroin addiction Naqvi and Bechara, ; Naqvi and Bechara, In a provocative parallel, CBD mg p. Human studies have recently demonstrated that human volunteers smoking cannabis with higher CBD content reduced their liking for drug-related stimuli, including food Morgan et al. The authors posited that CBD can modulate reinforcing properties of drugs of abuse, and help in training to reduce relapse to alcoholism. A single case report of a successful withdrawal from cannabis dependency utilizing pure CBD treatment was recently published Crippa et al. Perhaps terpenoids can provide adjunctive support. In a clinical trial, 48 cigarette smokers inhaling vapour from an EO of black pepper Piper nigrum , a mint-menthol mixture or placebo Rose and Behm, Rather, might not the effect have been pharmacological? The terpenoid profile of black pepper suggests possible candidates: myrcene via sedation, pinene via increased alertness, or especially caryophyllene via CB 2 agonism and a newly discovered putative mechanism of action in addiction treatment. CB 2 is expressed in dopaminergic neurones in the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens, areas mediating addictive phenomena Xi et al. Activation of CB 2 by the synthetic agonist JWH administered systemically, intranasally, or by microinjection into the nucleus accumbens in rats inhibited DA release and cocaine self-administration. Caryophyllene, as a high-potency selective CB 2 agonist Gertsch et al. All factors considered, CBD, with caryophyllene, and possibly other adjunctive terpenoids in the extract, offers significant promise in future addiction treatment. Various sources highlight the limited therapeutic index of pure THC, when given intravenously D'Souza et al. CBD modulates the psychoactivity of THC and reduces its adverse event profile Russo and Guy, , highlighted by recent results above described. Could it be, however, that other cannabis components offer additional attenuation of the less undesirable effects of THC? History provides some clues. In 10th century Persia, Al-Razi offered a prescription in his Manafi al-agdhiya wa-daf madarri-ha p. This concept was repeated in various forms by various authorities through the ages, including ibn Sina ibn Sina Avicenna , , and Ibn al-Baytar ibn al-Baytar, , until O'Shaughnessy brought Indian hemp to Britain in O'Shaughnessy, Robert Christison subsequently cited lemon Figure 3A as an antidote to acute intoxication in numerous cases Christison, and this excerpt regarding morning-after residua Christison, p. Ancient cannabis antidotes. A Lemon Citrus limon. B Calamus plant roots Acorus calamus. C Pine nuts Pinus spp. D Black pepper Piper nigrum. Next morning there was an ordinary appetite, much torpidity, great defect and shortness of memory, extreme apparent protraction of time, but no peculiarity of articulation or other effect; and these symptoms lasted until 2 P. Literary icons on both sides of the Atlantic espoused similar support for the citrus cure in the 19th century, notably Bayard Taylor after travels in Syria Taylor, , and Fitzhugh Ludlow after his voluntary experiments with ever higher cannabis extract doses in the USA Ludlow, The sentiment was repeated by Calkins , who noted the suggestion of a friend in Tunis that lemon retained the confidence of cure of overdoses by cannabis users in that region. In his comprehensive review of cannabis in the first half of the 20th century, Walton once more supported its prescription Walton, Another traditional antidote to cannabis employing Acorus calamus Figure 3B is evident from the Ayurvedic tradition of India Lad, , p. Calamus root is the best antidote for the ill effects of marijuana. This claim has gained credence, not only through force of anecdotal accounts that abound on the Internet, but with formal scientific case reports and scientific analysis McPartland et al. Historical precedents also support pinene in this pharmacological role. If this be taken in myrrh and wine all kinds of phantoms beset the mind, causing laughter which persists until the kernels of pine-nuts are taken with pepper and honey in palm wine. Of the components, palm wine is perhaps the most mysterious. Ethanol does not reduce cannabis intoxication Mello and Mendelson, However, ancient wines were stored in clay pots or goatskins, and required preservation, usually with addition of pine tar or terebinth resin from Pistacia spp. Pine tar is rich in pinene, as is terebinth resin from Pistacia terebinthus ; Tsokou et al. Likewise, the pine nuts Figure 3C prescribed by Pliny the Elder harbour pinene, along with additional limonene Salvadeo et al. Al-Ukbari also suggested pistachio nuts as a cannabis antidote in the 13th century Lozano, , and the ripe fruits of Pistacia terebinthus similarly contain pinene Couladis et al. The historical suggestions for cannabis antidotes are thus supported by modern scientific rationales for the claims, and if proven experimentally would provide additional evidence of synergy Berenbaum, ; Wagner and Ulrich-Merzenich, Considered ensemble, the preceding body of information supports the concept that selective breeding of cannabis chemotypes rich in ameliorative phytocannabinoid and terpenoid content offer complementary pharmacological activities that may strengthen and broaden clinical applications and improve the therapeutic index of cannabis extracts containing THC, or other base phytocannabinoids. Psychopharmacological and dermatological indications show the greatest promise. One important remaining order of business is the elucidation of mono- and sesquiterpenoid biosynthetic pathways in cannabis, as has been achieved previously in other species of plants Croteau, ; Gershenzon and Croteau, ; Bohlmann et al. Various cannabis component combinations or cannabis extracts should be examined via high throughput pharmacological screening where not previously accomplished. Another goal is the investigation of the biochemical targets of the cannabis terpenoids, along with their mechanisms of action, particularly in the central nervous system. Possible techniques for such research include radio-labelling of select agents in animals with subsequent necropsy. On a molecular level, investigation of terpenoid changes to phytocannabinoid signal transduction and trafficking may prove illuminating. While it is known that terpenoids bind to odorant receptors in the nasal mucosa Friedrich, and proximal olfactory structures Barnea et al. Given that farnesyl pyrophosphate is a sesquiterpenoid precursor and the most potent endogenous agonist yet discovered for GPR92 McHugh et al. Behavioural assays of agents in animal models may also provide clues. Simple combinations of phytocannabinoids and terpenoids may demonstrate synergy as antibiotics if MICs are appreciable lowered Wagner and Ulrich-Merzenich, Ultimately, fMRI and single photon emission computed tomography studies in humans, with simultaneous drug reaction questionnaires and psychometric testing employing individual agents and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid pairings via vaporization or oromucosal application, would likely offer safe and effective methods to investigate possible interactions and synergy. Should positive outcomes result from such studies, phytopharmaceutical development may follow. The development of zero-cannabinoid cannabis chemotypes de Meijer et al. Selective cross-breeding of high-terpenoid- and high-phytocannabinoid-specific chemotypes has thus become a rational target that may lead to novel approaches to such disorders as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, drug dependency, dementia and a panoply of dermatological disorders, as well as industrial applications as safer pesticides and antiseptics. A better future via cannabis phytochemistry may be an achievable goal through further research of the entourage effect in this versatile plant that may help it fulfil its promise as a pharmacological treasure trove.
