**CAPE (Cannabis Active Phytochemical Effects):** In the realm of cannabis science, CAPE stands for Cannabis Active Phytochemical Effects. This term encapsulates the diverse range of effects that the active phytochemicals in cannabis, such as cannabinoids and terpenes, have on the human body. The etymology of “cape” traces back to the Latin #1excludeGlossary meaning a cloak or covering, which metaphorically aligns with how these phytochemicals envelop the body in various effects. Over time, as the cannabis industry has matured, the understanding of CAPE has shifted from a focus solely on psychoactive effects to a broader appreciation of its therapeutic potential. CAPE encompasses everything from mood modulation to pain relief, making it a key concept for anyone interested in the holistic benefits of cannabis. As the cannabis landscape continues to change, staying informed about CAPE can provide a competitive edge in understanding the plant’s full potential.
