Exploring the World of Terpenes
At Altius Dispensary, we believe in providing our customers with the most comprehensive cannabis experience possible. One often overlooked aspect of cannabis consumption is the role of terpenes in shaping the overall effects and flavors of different strains. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpene pairing and how it can enhance your recreational cannabis journey.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinctive scents and flavors associated with different strains. But terpenes do more than just smell nice; they can also influence the effects of cannabis on your body and mind.
Popular Cannabis Terpenes
Some common terpenes found in cannabis include:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Citrusy, energizing scent
- Pinene: Pine-like fragrance
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like smell
The Art of Terpene Pairing
Just as you might pair wine with food, you can pair cannabis strains based on their terpene profiles to create a more tailored experience. For example, combining a strain high in myrcene with one rich in limonene can produce a balanced effect of relaxation and uplift.
At Altius Dispensary in Round Lake Beach, IL, our knowledgeable staff can guide you through the process of terpene pairing. We’re committed to helping our customers in the broader area discover new ways to elevate their cannabis experience.
