Huge news yesterday. Huge! The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has officially recommended that marijuana be rescheduled, from Schedule I to Schedule III of the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

When discussing the therapeutic potential of medical cannabis, the conversation often revolves around cannabinoids like THC and CBD. However, another critical class of compounds called terpenes plays a significant role in the overall cannabis experience. These naturally occurring aromatic compounds give cannabis strains their unique scent and flavor profiles, but they also offer a host of therapeutic benefits that can enhance and complement the effects of cannabinoids.
