Flavonoids
Many properties in cannabis are synergistc. CBD and THC perform best for pain-relief and healing disease when they are used together. This is similar when you consider the terpenes and flavonoids, which are also part of the cannabis make-up. The entire plant is designed to work as a whole to produce the best effects.
Terpenes
Terpenes have a mood changing effect, and different stains of cannabis have different effects. Sativa tends to be awakening and helps one focus while indica tends to have a calming effect. Terpenes provide every strain of cannabis with its smell and taste component.
