The Aromatic World of Cannabis Terpenes
When you first step into ROOTS Dispensary, one of the most striking features you’ll notice is the diverse array of aromas wafting through the air. These distinct scents aren’t just pleasant fragrances – they’re actually crucial compounds called terpenes that play a vital role in your cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the unique scents and flavors you experience, but they do much more than just please your senses.
Common cannabis terpenes include:
• Myrcene – Earthy, musky aroma
• Limonene – Citrusy, fresh scent
• Pinene – Pine-like fragrance
• Linalool – Floral, lavender notes
• Caryophyllene – Peppery, spicy smell
Why Terpenes Matter
Understanding terpenes can help you make more informed choices about your cannabis products. Different terpene profiles can contribute to varying effects and experiences. For example, strains high in myrcene might promote relaxation, while those rich in limonene could provide an uplifting effect.
