What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are the aromatic compounds found in various plants and botanical materials, including cannabis. These natural compounds are responsible for the distinct smells and flavors you experience when visiting our dispensaries in Hollywood, Long Beach, and other Southern California locations.

Common Cannabis Terpenes Include:

  • Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
  • Limonene – Citrusy, bright aroma
  • Pinene – Fresh pine scent
  • Linalool – Floral, lavender-like
