Of over 200 recognized cannabis terpenes, Caryophyllene is the only one that's known to bind to cannabinoid receptors, a fact that influences researchers' interest in its therapeutic potential.
Although found only in trace amounts, caryophyllene can be found in many different cannabis and hemp varieties, including indicas, sativas, and hybrids.
Limited research suggests that caryophyllene may have analgesic and anti-cancer potential, and may even be useful for some unconventional therapies, like managing certain forms of substance abuse.
Caryophyllene, like other terpenes, is thought to be an important part of the entourage effect, a theorized synergy between various cannabis compounds, including THC and CBD. The entourage effect is thought to be the reason that full spectrum CBD has been noted to offer increased benefits when compared to CBD isolate.
For now, most evidence we have about the entourage effect is preliminary, but existing reports do highlight caryophyllene's importance.

Caryophyllene Effects and Benefits
Resources
Caryophyllene is the only terpene found in cannabis that is known to react directly with cannabinoid receptors in the body. For that reason, it is frequently labeled a “dietary supplement.” Experts believe it possesses great therapeutic potential.
Most of the evidence regarding caryophyllene’s therapeutic benefits is still in preliminary stages, and the bulk of evidence comes from animal studies.
Researchers aren’t sure how many of these benefits apply directly to humans, but we think caryophyllene has potential as an anticancer supplement, for managing pain, balancing glucose levels, improving sleep times, and reducing inflammation as a result of several neuropathic conditions.
Although there is still a lot to learn, researchers believe that caryophyllene plays an important role in cannabis’ entourage effect. That means that caryophyllene is likely an important part of the cannabis and hemp experience, especially when consuming many full spectrum CBD products.
Caryophyllene is known for providing the peppery, spicy, pungent kick found in many cannabis strains.
Caryophyllene is a prominent terpene in a variety of bold, spicy plants known for their potential therapeutic value, like cinnamon, clove, rosemary, basil, or black pepper.
Most research regarding caryophyllene depends on animal studies or preliminary evidence, but the research available is overwhelmingly positive and often calls for further investigation.
