The Aromatic World of Cannabis Terpenes
When you walk into Valley Wellness or receive your cannabis delivery, you might notice the distinct aromas wafting from different strains. These aromatic compounds are called terpenes, and they’re more than just pleasant scents – they play a crucial role in the overall cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for:
- Distinctive aromas and flavors
- Potential therapeutic benefits
- Enhanced cannabis effects through the “entourage effect”
