What are Terpenes?

They are responsible for the unique aromas and flavors associated with these plants. Terpenes also play a role in plant defense mechanisms and may have potential therapeutic benefits. In cannabis, terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, contributing to the overall effects and characteristics of different strains.

Terpenes play a crucial role in influencing the effects and characteristics of cannabis. They work together with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to create what is known as the “entourage effect.” Terpenes can enhance or modulate the effects of cannabinoids by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the body. The presence and combination of specific terpenes in a cannabis strain can influence its overall aroma, flavor, and effects. Some terpenes may have potential therapeutic benefits, such as anti-inflammatory or anti-anxiety properties. Therefore, understanding the terpene profile of a cannabis strain can provide insights into its possible effects and help with your decision-making.
