The Aromatic World of Cannabis Terpenes
At Altius Dispensary, we’re not just passionate about providing top-quality cannabis products to our customers in Waukegan, IL, and Gurnee, IL. We’re also committed to educating our community about the intricate details of cannabis science. Today, we’re delving into the fascinating world of cannabis terpenes and their impact on flavor profiles.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinctive smells and flavors associated with different cannabis strains. But terpenes do more than just provide pleasant aromas; they also play a crucial role in the overall effects of cannabis.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Citrusy, lemon-like scent
- Pinene: Pine-like aroma
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like scent
- Caryophyllene: Spicy, peppery aroma
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD in 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 compound alone.
Terpene Profiles and Strain Selection
Understanding terpene profiles can help consumers make more informed choices when selecting cannabis strains. At Altius Dispensary, we provide detailed information about the terpene content of our products, allowing customers to choose strains that align with their desired effects and flavor preferences.
