The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At Terp Bros Dispensary in Astoria, Queens, we’re passionate about educating our community about every aspect of cannabis science. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating components of the cannabis plant: terpenes.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. These molecular structures are responsible for the distinct smells and flavors you experience when enjoying your favorite strains.
Common Cannabis Terpenes Include:
– Myrcene: Earthy, musky notes
– Limonene: Citrus aromas
– Pinene: Fresh pine scents
– Linalool: Floral, lavender-like fragrance
– Caryophyllene: Spicy, peppery undertones
The Entourage Effect
As one of New York State’s pioneering CAURD dispensaries, we emphasize the importance of understanding how terpenes work together with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This synergistic relationship between compounds can enhance the overall experience and potential benefits.
