These distinct scents aren’t just pleasant fragrances – they’re actually powerful organic compounds that play a crucial role in your cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic molecules found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for:
• Creating distinctive scents
• Contributing to flavor profiles
• Influencing potential therapeutic effects
• Interacting with cannabinoids
Common Cannabis Terpenes
1. Myrcene
– Earthy, musky aroma
– Often associated with relaxing effects
– Found in mangoes and hops
2. Limonene
– Citrusy, bright scent
– May help elevate mood
– Common in citrus fruit peels
3. Pinene
– Fresh pine needle scent
– Could improve alertness
– Also present in rosemary and pine trees
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, creating what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction can enhance or modify the overall effects of cannabis products.
