Unlocking the Secrets of Cannabis Aromatics
At Mana Supply, we’re passionate about educating our customers on all aspects of cannabis. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive scent and contribute to its effects.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the plant’s aroma and flavor profile, and they play a crucial role in the entourage effect – the synergistic interaction between various cannabis compounds.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes in cannabis:
- Myrcene: Earthy and musky
- Limonene: Citrusy and uplifting
- Pinene: Pine-like and energizing
- Linalool: Floral and calming
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and peppery
The Science Behind Terpenes
Terpenes interact with our endocannabinoid system, potentially influencing mood, pain perception, and other physiological processes. This interaction is part of what makes each cannabis strain unique in its effects and benefits.
