The Fascinating World of Terpenes
At New Standard Hazel Park, we’re passionate about educating our customers on all aspects of cannabis. Today, we’re diving into the aromatic world of terpenes, the compounds responsible for the distinctive scents and flavors in cannabis and many other plants.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds found in a variety of plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the unique aromas and flavors we associate with different strains. But terpenes do more than just smell good – they may also play a role in the overall effects of cannabis.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Citrusy, lemony scent
- Pinene: Fresh, pine-like fragrance
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like aroma
- Caryophyllene: Spicy, peppery notes
The Entourage Effect
Many researchers believe that terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to produce what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This theory suggests that the combination of various compounds in cannabis may enhance its overall therapeutic potential.
