Understanding Cannabis Terpenes The Natural Symphony Behind Your Favorite Strains


The Science of Cannabis Terpenes

At Terp Bros Dispensary, we’re passionate about educating our Astoria community about the intricate details that make cannabis such a fascinating plant. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most crucial components of cannabis: terpenes.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. These organic molecules are responsible for the distinct smells and flavors you experience in different cannabis strains.

Common Cannabis Terpenes:

  • Myrcene: Earthy, musky notes
  • Limonene: Citrusy, energizing aroma
  • Pinene: Fresh pine scent
  • Linalool: Floral, lavender-like
  • Caryophyllene: Peppery, spicy undertones

The Entourage Effect

As a premier cannabis retail store in Queens, NY, we emphasize the importance of understanding how terpenes work together with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This synergistic relationship between compounds can enhance the overall experience and potential benefits.
