The Fascinating World of Cannabis Terpenes
When you first step into Molly Ann Farms, one of the most striking features is the diverse array of aromas wafting through the air. These distinctive scents aren’t just pleasant – they’re actually crucial compounds that contribute to your cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found naturally in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinctive smells of different cannabis strains and contribute to their unique effects.
Common cannabis terpenes include:
- Myrcene – Earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene – Citrusy, energizing scent
- Pinene – Fresh pine fragrance
- Linalool – Floral, lavender-like smell
Why Terpenes Matter
Understanding terpenes can help you make more informed decisions about your cannabis purchases. For example, strains high in myrcene often promote relaxation, while limonene-rich varieties might boost your mood.
