Terpenes: The Unsung Heroes of Cannabis

When you step into New Standard, Michigan’s premier cannabis dispensary, you’re greeted by a symphony of aromas. But have you ever wondered what gives cannabis its distinct scent and flavor? The answer lies in the magical world of terpenes.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the unique smells and tastes we associate with different strains. But these little molecules do more than just tantalize our senses; they may also play a role in how cannabis affects our bodies and minds.

Common Cannabis Terpenes

Here are some of the most prevalent terpenes you might encounter in our top-quality flower:

• Myrcene: Earthy and musky
• Limonene: Citrusy and uplifting
• Pinene: Pine-like and energizing
• Linalool: Floral and calming
• Caryophyllene: Spicy and peppery

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes don’t work alone. They interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD in what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This synergy may enhance the overall effects of cannabis, potentially offering a more well-rounded experience.
