Understanding Terpenes The Natural Compounds That Shape Your Cannabis Experience
The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At hi! Dispensary, we believe educated consumers make better choices. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis science: terpenes.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found naturally in many plants, including cannabis. These microscopic molecules are responsible for the distinct aromatic profiles that make each cannabis strain unique.
Common Cannabis Terpenes:
* Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
* Limonene – Citrusy, energizing scent
* Pinene – Fresh pine aroma
* Linalool – Floral, lavender-like
* Caryophyllene – Peppery, spicy undertones
Why Terpenes Matter
These compounds do more than just provide pleasant aromas. Research suggests terpenes may contribute to the entourage effect, working synergistically with cannabinoids to enhance therapeutic benefits.
