Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to its unique smell and may influence its effects. Understanding these compounds can help you choose the right strain.
Myrcene, one of the most common terpenes, is known for its relaxing properties and is often found in indica strains. It has an earthy, musky aroma.
Limonene, with its citrusy scent, is associated with uplifting effects and may help with stress and anxiety. It’s commonly found in sativa strains.
Pinene, as the name suggests, has a pine-like aroma and may help with focus and memory. It’s found in many different cannabis strains.
The combination of different terpenes in a strain creates its unique ‘entourage effect,’ which can influence the overall experience.
