What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the plant’s aroma and flavor profile. In nature, terpenes serve as a defense mechanism against predators and attract pollinators. In cannabis, they work synergistically with cannabinoids to produce what’s known as the “entourage effect.”
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Some of the most prevalent terpenes in cannabis include:
- Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Citrusy and uplifting
- Pinene: Pine-scented and potentially memory-enhancing
- Linalool: Floral and calming
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and potentially anti-inflammatory
The Entourage Effect
The entourage effect is a theory suggesting that the combination of cannabinoids and terpenes work together to enhance the overall effects of cannabis. This synergy is believed to contribute to the unique experiences associated with different cannabis strains.
