Terpene Guide
Discover the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its unique flavors, effects, and therapeutic benefits
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They're responsible for the distinctive scents and flavors of different strains, ranging from citrusy and sweet to earthy and pine-like. Beyond aroma, terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to produce unique effects through what's called the "entourage effect."
Understanding terpenes can help you choose strains that best fit your needs, whether you're looking for relaxation, energy, pain relief, or creativity. Click on each terpene below to learn more!
The Entourage Effect
When terpenes work together with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, they create what's known as the "entourage effect" - where the combined impact is greater than the sum of their individual effects. This is why the same THC percentage can feel different across strains with varying terpene profiles.
