The Science Behind Nature’s Aromatic Compounds
At NOXX, we believe that understanding the technical aspects of cannabis helps our customers make more informed decisions. Today, we’re diving deep into the fascinating world of terpenes and their crucial role in the cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the distinct aromas and flavors in cannabis and many other plants. These molecular architects of scent do more than just please our olfactory senses – they play a crucial role in the overall effects of cannabis products.
Common Cannabis Terpenes:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky notes
- Limonene: Citrus-forward profiles
- Pinene: Fresh pine essence
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like
- Caryophyllene: Peppery, spicy undertones
The Entourage Effect
When you visit any of our four locations, whether at our 28th Street store or our newest location in East Peoria, our knowledgeable staff can explain how terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.”
Testing and Profiles
At NOXX, we ensure all products undergo rigorous testing to identify and quantify terpene profiles. This information helps our customers select products that align with their desired experience and preferences.
