Aroma

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and other plants. They are responsible for the distinct smells and flavors associated with different strains of cannabis. Terpenes not only contribute to the overall sensory experience of consuming cannabis but may also have therapeutic effects. These compounds interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, potentially influencing the overall effects of the plant. Some common terpenes found in cannabis include myrcene, limonene, and pinene. Each terpene has its own unique aroma and potential benefits. Research on terpenes is ongoing, and understanding their role in cannabis may provide insights into strain selection and personalized experiences.
