Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They are responsible for the distinct scents and flavors of different cannabis strains, ranging from citrusy and floral to earthy and piney. Beyond adding sensory appeal, terpenes also play a role in influencing the effects of cannabis by modulating its interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system. This synergy, often referred to as the “entourage effect,” suggests that terpenes work in conjunction with cannabinoids to enhance and modify therapeutic benefits.
