Phenolic compounds have been shown to have antioxidant properties, while cannabis flavonoids in particular are anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and may help prevent and treat cancer.
Phenolic compounds also determine the quality of the plant, notably its flavor and color. Visit type of cannabis variety and the ratio of phenolics, cannabinoids and terpenes contribute to the plant's potency and effects when consumed.
