What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds produced by a variety of plants, including cannabis. They are responsible for the distinct aromas and flavors associated with different strains, from the citrusy tang of Lemon Haze to the earthy notes of Granddaddy Purple. Beyond their sensory appeal, terpenes also contribute to the physiological effects of cannabis, working in synergy with cannabinoids like THC and CBD.
The Entourage Effect
This synergistic relationship between terpenes and cannabinoids is known as the “entourage effect.” It suggests that the therapeutic potential of cannabis is enhanced when all its compounds work together, rather than in isolation. At Starlife Dispensary, we believe in harnessing the full spectrum of the plant’s benefits, and that’s why we place great emphasis on terpene profiles when curating our selection.
Common Terpenes and Their Effects
While over 100 terpenes have been identified in cannabis, some are more prevalent than others. Here are a few you might encounter:
- Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky aroma, myrcene is believed to have sedative and relaxing properties.
- Limonene: As its name suggests, limonene imparts a citrusy scent and is associated with elevated mood and stress relief.
- Pinene: Found in pine needles and herbs like rosemary, pinene is thought to promote alertness and memory retention.
- Linalool: Also present in lavender, linalool has a floral fragrance and is linked to relaxation and anxiety reduction.
