Understanding the Aromatic World of Cannabis
At Terp Bros Dispensary, we’re passionate about educating our Astoria community about every aspect of cannabis consumption. As one of New York State’s pioneering Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensaries (CAURD), we believe knowledge is power when it comes to making informed decisions about cannabis products.
Today, let’s dive into the fascinating world of terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive smell and contribute to its effects.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. These aromatic molecules aren’t just responsible for pleasant scents; they play a crucial role in the overall cannabis experience. As Queens’ trusted cannabis retailer, we’re here to help you understand their significance.
Common Cannabis Terpenes:
- Myrcene: The most abundant cannabis terpene, known for its earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Delivers citrusy notes and uplifting effects
- Pinene: Offers pine-fresh scents and promotes alertness
- Linalool: Provides floral notes similar to lavender
- Caryophyllene: Presents spicy, peppery aromatics
As Astoria’s premier cannabis destination, we take pride in offering products with diverse terpene profiles. Understanding these profiles can help you better predict how different strains might affect you.
The Entourage Effect
The interaction between terpenes and cannabinoids creates what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This synergy between compounds can enhance the therapeutic potential of cannabis products, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Making Informed Choices
At Terp Bros, we believe in empowering our community with knowledge. Our knowledgeable staff can help you explore different terpene profiles to find products that align with your desired effects.
