The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At P37 Cannabis – Santa Fe, we’re passionate about educating our community about the molecular compounds that make each cannabis strain unique. Today, we’re diving deep into terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive smell and contribute to its effects.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. These naturally occurring molecules serve several purposes:
• Protection against predators
• Attraction of pollinators
• Environmental adaptation
• Influence on human experience
Common Cannabis Terpenes
The most prevalent terpenes found in quality cannabis include:
1. Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
2. Limonene – Citrus aromas
3. Pinene – Forest-fresh scents
4. Caryophyllene – Peppery undertones
5. Linalool – Floral essence
The Entourage Effect
When terpenes work together with cannabinoids, they create what’s known as the entourage effect. This synergistic relationship enhances the overall experience and potential benefits of cannabis consumption.
