Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
