The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At Cultivate Las Vegas, we’re passionate about educating our customers on all aspects of cannabis. Today, we’re diving into the world of terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive scent and flavor.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the unique smells and tastes of different cannabis strains. But terpenes do more than just provide aroma – they can also influence the effects of cannabis on the human body.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Citrusy scent
- Pinene: Pine-like smell
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like aroma
- Caryophyllene: Peppery, spicy scent
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD in what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction can enhance or modify the overall effects of cannabis, potentially providing additional therapeutic benefits.
At Cultivate Las Vegas, we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of cannabis products with diverse terpene profiles. Since opening our doors in 2018, we’ve become a trusted name in Las Vegas and surrounding areas, including North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Paradise, and Corn Creek, NV.
