What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct smells and flavors associated with different cannabis strains. But terpenes aren’t just about aroma; they may also play a role in the overall effects of cannabis consumption.

Common Cannabis Terpenes and Their Potential Benefits

• Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky scent, myrcene may have sedative and relaxing properties.
• Limonene: With its citrusy aroma, limonene is believed to have mood-elevating and stress-reducing effects.
• Pinene: This pine-scented terpene might help improve alertness and memory.
• Linalool: Recognized for its floral scent, linalool may have calming and anxiety-reducing properties.

The Entourage Effect

Many researchers believe that terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, potentially enhancing their therapeutic effects. This phenomenon is known as the “entourage effect.”
