The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At In Good Health in Sandwich, MA, we’re passionate about helping our customers understand the complex science behind cannabis. One of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis science is the study of terpene profiles and their effects on the overall cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinctive smells and can contribute to various effects when consumed. Common cannabis terpenes include:
- Myrcene – Known for earthy, musky notes
- Limonene – Citrusy and energizing
- Pinene – Fresh pine scent
- Linalool – Floral and calming
- Caryophyllene – Peppery and spicy
The Entourage Effect
These compounds work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction can enhance or modify the overall effects of cannabis products.
Testing and Quality
At our dispensary, each strain undergoes rigorous testing to identify its unique terpene profile. This information helps our customers make informed decisions about their cannabis purchases based on desired effects and flavor preferences.
