Frankincense and cannabis have several attributes in common, including modulating some of the same receptor channels in the body. Not surprisingly, Raphael Mechoulam, the “Father of Cannabis Research” who helped identify THC and has been instrumental in cannabis research spanning four decades, has also conducted various studies on Boswellia species. Below are various ways that frankincense shares similar properties with cannabis.

Psychoactivity:

 

Our ancestors of old were altering consciousness in a variety of ways and frankincense’s psychoactive properties have been recognized since ancient times. The smoke of frankincense produces a mind-altering substance known as trahydrocannabinole. [9] The plant’s resin has been found to contain over 200 active compounds and some of which have inspired various research studies. [3]

 

Data supports that frankincense resin can affect emotional states and behaviors. This is due to its action as a potent TRPV3 agonist that causes antidepressant and stress relieving effects. The TRPV3 channel is affects emotional and behavioral processes in the central nervous system and is also known to give the perception of warmth (via regulation of body temperature). In a mouse model, incensole acetate, a compound in Boswellia, induced psychoactivity by activating TRPV3 channels in the brain. Since Frankincense is known to heighten the euphoria during religious rites, his action within TRVP3 receptors may “provide a biochemical basis for the millennial and widespread use of Boswellia containing incense. [9]

 

CBD is known to also bind to receptor channels in this receptor family, specifically TRPV1 receptors. This action is also shared with capsaicin—the spicy compound of hot peppers, and the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide. Activation of TRPV1 can influence the perception of pain. [10]

 

Another parallel that active compounds in frankincense have with CBD is the influence on Cytochrome P450. Boswellic acids have the ability to non-selectively inhibit the drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzyme family.3 CBD also inhibits CP450 in sufficient doses. This means that these compounds can change how different medications are metabolized. This could influence those taking painkillers, blood thinners, insulin, statins, and others. [10] Those taking CBD and Boswellia with prescription medications should be aware that smaller doses would be required and to notify their healthcare provider.
