Common questions about Gentle Balance strains
Why do low terpene strains still have effects?
While terpenes modulate the cannabis experience, THC and CBD remain the primary drivers of effects. The Gentle Balance cluster still averages 16.5% THC but with fewer terpenes to intensify or direct the experience. This creates a more neutral, less intense effect that many beginners find more comfortable.
Is this cluster less effective medicinally?
Not necessarily. For many conditions, a gentle, balanced approach is more effective than intense effects. This cluster's moderate CBD content (1.06%) combined with mild terpene influence creates a sustainable therapeutic option for daily use without building tolerance as quickly.
How should beginners approach this cluster?
Start with very small doses even with Gentle Balance strains. While they're milder than other clusters, they still contain THC (average 16.5%). Begin with one small inhalation, wait 15-20 minutes, and gradually increase if needed. This cluster is ideal for learning your personal response to cannabis.
