What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are natural aromatic compounds found in many plants — including cannabis. They are responsible for the distinctive scents and flavors of different strains, and they also contribute to the overall experience and effects of your flower.

In addition to enhancing aroma, terpenes work together with cannabinoids (like CBD and THC) to create what’s known as the "entourage effect," helping to shape the therapeutic and mood-boosting qualities of your product.

Common Terpenes & Their Benefits

Myrcene

Relaxation & Calm

Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis. Known for its earthy, musky scent (similar to cloves), it promotes relaxation and may support restful sleep and muscle tension relief.

Limonene

Uplift & Energy

Limonene is a bright, citrus-scented terpene commonly found in lemons and other citrus fruits. It can elevate mood, reduce stress, and provide an energizing boost.

Caryophyllene

Stress Relief

Caryophyllene, which has a spicy, peppery aroma, is unique because it can also interact directly with the body's endocannabinoid system. It may offer anti-inflammatory and calming effects, making it a great terpene for stress management.

Why Terpenes Matter

When choosing your flower, it’s not just about THC or CBD content — terpenes play a crucial role in shaping the overall experience. Whether you’re looking to relax after a long day, feel more focused, or ease everyday stress, the terpene profile can help guide your selection.
