Cannabis terpene profiles
Cannabis without terpenes is like pizza without cheese. It’s the magic ingredient that works in harmony with THC to give your favorite strain its unique smell, taste and effect. There are over 100 terpenes found in cannabis, each interacting with the other cannabinoids and compounds to produce the psychoactive effects we know and love. When you find a strain you love, it’s probably because you found a terpene profile that works well for you.
The Entourage effect
Terpenes may have their own redeeming qualities. Myrcene is known to be calming and sedative. Limonene can give an energizing and uplifting effect. But when chilling together with THC, the full therapeutic benefits of cannabis come to light.
