The Fascinating Realm of Cannabis Terpenes

At The Sanctuary, we’re not just passionate about providing top-quality cannabis products; we’re also dedicated to educating our customers about the intricate world of marijuana. Today, we’re diving into the aromatic universe of cannabis terpenes, the compounds responsible for the distinct scents and flavors of different strains.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the unique aromas and flavors we associate with different strains. But terpenes do more than just tickle our noses; they also play a crucial role in the overall effects of cannabis.

Common Cannabis Terpenes

Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:

• Myrcene: Earthy and musky
• Limonene: Citrusy and energizing
• Pinene: Pine-like and focused
• Linalool: Floral and calming
• Caryophyllene: Peppery and potentially pain-relieving

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to produce what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon suggests that the combined action of various cannabis compounds may enhance their individual effects.

Choosing Your Strain

Understanding terpenes can help you select the perfect strain for your needs. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, focus, or pain relief, the terpene profile can guide your choice.
