Cannabidiol (CBD) is being studied on many interesting topics that cannabis users seek after, but with accordance to section 104.12(1) of the Cannabis Regulations, which pertains to health and cosmetic benefit claims, we are unable to comment on what these areas of study are.
All of these studies into the various applications of CBD contribute to bettering our understanding of cannabinoid effects overall. But there’s still much to learn about these effects and how they’re achieved on a molecular level.
In particular, researchers are interested in the entourage effect delivered by active phytochemicals metabolized together in whole-plant formats. This includes both cannabinoids, like CBD, and terpenes, which provide the flavour and aroma of plants. Terpenes are believed to deliver their own uses, which researchers have also long studied outside the context of cannabis.
What is CBD for?
So far, scientists know that the active ingredients of cannabis interact with processes throughout the human endocannabinoid system, which is made up of chemical receptors all over the body.
Cannabinoid receptors found in the brain, central nervous system and peripheral organs all play a role in regulating executive functioning.
CBD has been found to act on specific cannabinoid receptors, but there’s little clinical data currently available to help users understand how it may work for their wellness and self care.
Research suggests CBD has effects worth mentioning in this blog but due section 104.12(1) of the Cannabis Regulations, which pertains to health and cosmetic benefit claims, we are unable to comment on what these are, and the effects. How CBD affects the average wellness-minded user has yet to be studied.

How to use the Effects Wheel
Let’s say you’d like to target your rest and relaxation using CBD.
To use the wheel, begin on the outside and work your way towards the centre.
At the very edges, you’ll find the terpenes used to address the desired mood states of Kinloch’s formulas. These terpene profiles deliver the delicious flavours and aromas of each product. Along with these terpenes, you’ll find a summary of the reported side effects from consumers, as collected by Strainprint®
If you’re looking for restful evening, you might focus on the areas highlighted in blue. Here, you’ll find goals like falling into rest, staying resting, and getting more rest. Each terpene delivered to address these issues is carefully selected in the formulation process, based on research into their uses.
Terpenes targeting rest are offered in three delicious blends:
linalool (found in bergamont and lavender) + myrcene (found in tropical fruits) + humulene (found in hops) = smooth and herbaceous with floral and fruity sweetness
beta-caryophyllene (found in pepper and cinnamon) + bisabolol (found in chamomile) = mellow sweetness with a bite of spice
nerolidol (found in tea tree and jasmine) + ocimene (found in parsley and mint) + geraniol (found in rose and citronella) = woody and sweet with a citrus punch
The middle of the Effects Wheel lets you know which product line is formulated for your concerns. Kinloch’s CBZ line includes CBD and CBN in a 2:1 blend, along with natural terpenes for a soothing entourage effect.
The Effects Wheel also offers a guide for incorporating CBD into your routine. Think of each quadrant as a slice of your day. Plan around work, leisure, exercise and finally bedtime.
Serene is great for settling you into your day, while Elevate is great for working hours, and Refresh can support your afternoon slump, with the CBZ appropriate for beginning to shift to down time and rest.
