Introduction

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are the aromatic compounds responsible for the unique scents and flavors found in plants, including our beloved cannabis. They are not exclusive to cannabis but are found in a plethora of plants. In cannabis, these natural compounds are stored in the trichomes (tiny resin glands) of the plant.

The Effects of Terpenes on Cannabis

Terpenes work in conjunction with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, influencing how each strain interacts with our bodies' endocannabinoid system. This synergistic relationship is commonly referred to as the "entourage effect" and may enhance the overall effects of cannabis. Terpenes have been found to have various therapeutic properties, potentially aiding in pain relief, anxiety reduction, and more.

Most Common & Notable Terpenes Found in Cannabis

While there are hundreds of terpenes identified in cannabis, let's explore the most common and notable ones and their potential effects:

• Myrcene - Most common terpene found in cannabis, with earthy and musky aromas. It's known to potentially offer relaxing and sedative effects.
• Limonene - Responsible for the citrusy scent found in some strains. Limonene is believed to have mood-enhancing and stress-relieving properties.
• Pinene - Recognizable for its pine-like aroma, Pinene is associated with alertness, memory enhancement, and anti-inflammatory effects.
• Linalool - Known for its floral scents, Linalool is often used in aromatherapy for its calming and soothing effects.
• Humulene - With its earthy and woody aroma, Humulene is found in hops and is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties.
• Caryophyllene - Possessing a spicy, peppery scent, Caryophyllene is unique as it can also stimulate cannabinoid receptors and is believed to have pain-relief and anti-inflammatory potential.

How to Identify Terpenes in Cannabis

To identify terpenes in cannabis, use your senses! The aroma and taste of a strain can give you a good indication of its dominant terpenes. Additionally, lab-testing results can provide a detailed breakdown of terpene profiles in cultivars.
