What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the plant’s aroma and contribute to its effects on the human body. Some common terpenes in cannabis include:
- Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky scent
- Limonene: Offers a citrusy aroma
- Pinene: Provides a pine-like smell
- Linalool: Contributes a floral, lavender-like scent
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes don’t just smell good; they work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to produce what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon suggests that the combined effect of various cannabis compounds is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
