Diving Deep into the World of Terpenes
At The Farm Dispensary Santa Cruz, we’re passionate about educating our customers on all aspects of cannabis. Today, we’re excited to delve 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 organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the unique aroma profiles of different cannabis strains and play a crucial role in the plant’s overall effects.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Some of the most prevalent terpenes in cannabis include:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Citrusy scent
- Pinene: Pine-like smell
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like aroma
- Caryophyllene: Peppery, spicy notes
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, contributing to what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon suggests that the combined action of various cannabis compounds produces more significant effects than any single component alone.
