Unlocking the Mystery: Terpenes and Their Impact on Your Cannabis Experience

As Michigan’s premier cannabis dispensary, New Standard is committed to educating our customers about every aspect of cannabis consumption. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes and how they can enhance your overall experience.

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct scents and flavors associated with different cannabis strains. But their role goes far beyond just pleasing our senses.

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to produce what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon suggests that the combined action of various cannabis compounds creates a more profound impact than any single component alone.

Common Cannabis Terpenes

Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:

• Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky aroma
• Limonene: Offers a citrusy scent
• Pinene: Provides a pine-like fragrance
• Linalool: Contributes a floral, lavender-like smell
