What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the unique aromas in cannabis and many other plants. They’re not just about smell; these molecules play a significant role in how cannabis interacts with our bodies.
Common cannabis terpenes include:
- Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
- Limonene – Citrusy, energizing scents
- Pinene – Fresh pine aromas
- Linalool – Floral, lavender-like fragrance
Benefits Beyond Aroma
Each terpene brings its own potential therapeutic properties:
- Stress relief
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Mood enhancement
- Sleep support
Whether you’re visiting our Sacramento location or stopping by in Roseville, our knowledgeable staff can help you understand how different terpene profiles might benefit your wellness journey.
Making Informed Choices
Next time you’re selecting cannabis products, pay attention to the aromatic profiles. These natural compounds work together with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect,” potentially enhancing the overall therapeutic experience.
Remember to ask our budtenders about terpene profiles in our various strains – they’re always happy to guide you toward the perfect product for your needs.
