The Aromatic World of Cannabis
At The Sanctuary, we’re passionate about educating our customers on all aspects of cannabis. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes, the aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the diverse array of scents and flavors in plants. In cannabis, they contribute to the plant’s unique aroma profile and may play a role in its effects.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:
- Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Offers a citrusy, lemon-like scent
- Pinene: Provides a fresh, pine-like fragrance
- Linalool: Contributes a floral, lavender-like aroma
- Caryophyllene: Gives a spicy, peppery scent
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes are believed to work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, potentially enhancing or modulating their effects. This phenomenon is known as the “entourage effect.”
