General information

Citrus varieties of cannabis are a special category of plants characterized by a distinct aroma and taste reminiscent of lemon, orange, grapefruit or lime. This profile is made possible by a unique combination of terpenes, the organic compounds responsible for the plant's aroma and flavor characteristics. These varieties are popular not only among recreational but also among medical users due to their versatility and wide range of effects.

What are terpenes and their role

Terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in cannabis plants as well as many other plants such as citrus, lavender, and conifers. They have two main functions:

• Terpenes form the flavor profile of cannabis.
• Terpenes interact with cannabinoids (e.g. THC and CBD), enhancing or mitigating their effects.

Major terpenes in citrus varieties

Limonen

Fragrance: lemon, orange, lime.

Effects: Limonene has a stimulating and anti-stress effect, helping to improve mood and boost energy. It is also known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Myrcene

Aroma: earthy, herbal, with light citrus notes.

Effects: this terpene is often found in indica and helps to achieve relaxation, improves sleep and relieves pain.

Linalool

Fragrance: light floral, with notes of lavender and citrus.

Effects: It has a calming effect, helps to fight anxiety and stress.

Influence of genetics on citrus varieties

Citrus varieties of cannabis can be found among both indica and sativas, as well as their hybrids. For example, sativas with a high limonene content offer an invigorating and motivating effect, ideal for daytime use. Indica, on the other hand, have a more pronounced myrcene profile, making them ideal for relaxation and evening enjoyment.

In addition, these varieties are available in different variations:

• Feminized varieties ensure that all plants are female, ensuring maximum yield.
• Autoflowering varieties are great for beginning gardeners as they do not require a change in light cycle to initiate flowering.

Thus, citrus varieties are not just about pleasant aroma and flavor, but also about a wide range of effects due to genetics and terpene content.

Medicinal properties of citrus varieties

Citrus varieties of cannabis are famous not only for their bright aroma and flavor, but also for their unique medicinal properties. They are widely used in medical practice due to their content of terpenes such as limonene, linalool and myrcene, as well as the balance of cannabinoids (THC and CBD).

How terpene limonene affects health

Limonene is one of the key terpenes responsible for the citrus flavor. It has powerful therapeutic effects:

• Antidepressant: limonene stimulates the production of serotonin and dopamine, helping to fight depression and improve mood.
• Anti-inflammatory: it effectively reduces inflammation, which is especially helpful for chronic conditions such as arthritis.
• Digestive support: limonene helps alleviate symptoms of upset stomach and improve appetite.
• Antioxidant action: limonene fights oxidative stress, which helps prevent age-related and chronic diseases.

Role of cannabinoids: THC and CBD

Sativa citrus varieties with high THC content are often used to treat energy deficiency disorders such as chronic fatigue or apathy. They stimulate activity, creative thinking and concentration.

Indica varieties with a balance of THC and CBD help relax muscles, relieve pain, and improve sleep quality.

Hybrid autoflowering varieties offer a combination of these effects, making them a versatile solution for many patients.

Benefits of citrus varieties for medical use

Due to the variety of genetics, from sativa to indica and their hybrids, citrus varieties are suitable for treating both physical and mental disorders.

Citrus terpenes such as limonene and linalool provide a milder and more balanced effect, making these varieties suitable for first-time patients.

The bright citrus flavor makes therapy more enjoyable and reduces negative associations with treatment.

Citrus varieties of cannabis are not only a treat for lovers of bright flavor, but also an effective tool for treating a multitude of conditions. Due to their versatility, they are becoming increasingly popular in medical practice.
