Discovering the Aromatic Secrets of Cannabis
At New Era Dispensary, we’re always excited to share knowledge about the fascinating world of cannabis. Today, we’re diving into the aromatic realm of cannabis terpenes, the compounds responsible for the diverse and enticing scents of different cannabis strains.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct 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: Known for its earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Offers a citrusy, lemon-like scent
- Pinene: Provides a fresh, pine-like smell
- Linalool: Contributes a floral, lavender-like fragrance
- Caryophyllene: Gives a spicy, peppery aroma
The Entourage Effect
Many researchers believe that terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, contributing to what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This theory suggests that the combined action of various cannabis compounds may enhance the plant’s overall effects.
