- • Pain relief and muscle relaxation
- • Anxiety reduction
- • Neuroprotective benefits
Flavor Profile:
Spicy, peppery, woody notes with hints of clove and cinnamon
Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₈O

The Entourage Effect in Action
These three primary terpenes work synergistically with THC and minor cannabinoids to create LCG's signature effects. This molecular cooperation amplifies therapeutic benefits beyond what any single compound could achieve alone.
Secondary Terpene Complex
Enhances THC absorption, promotes relaxation
Counteracts THC memory impairment, bronchodilator
Appetite suppressant, antibacterial properties
Antioxidant, sedating in high doses
Major Terpenes >1.0%
Minor Terpenes (0.1-1.0%)
Total Terpene Content: 8.3% - Among the highest concentrations in any cannabis strain
