Unveiling the Aromatic World of Cannabis Terpenes

At S&H GreenLife, we believe that understanding the intricacies of cannabis can greatly enhance your dispensary experience. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinct scent and contribute to its effects.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the plant’s aroma and flavor profile, and they also play a crucial role in determining the effects of different cannabis strains.

Common Cannabis Terpenes

Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:

• Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky aroma
• Limonene: Citrusy scent associated with uplifting effects
• Pinene: Pine-like aroma linked to alertness
• Linalool: Floral scent often found in lavender
• Caryophyllene: Spicy, peppery aroma

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, creating what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction is believed to enhance the therapeutic potential of cannabis and contribute to the unique experiences associated with different strains.
