Cannabis Terpenes Explained

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in all plants — they give cannabis its distinctive flavors and may influence effects. Understanding terpenes helps you choose strains that match your preferences beyond just THC and CBD.

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes work alongside cannabinoids in what researchers call the entourage effect — the idea that cannabis compounds are more effective together than in isolation.

How to Use Terpene Knowledge

For sleep: Look for earthy/musky strains (myrcene) — sleep guide.
For energy: Choose citrus/pine profiles (limonene, pinene).
For anxiety: Berry and floral strains (linalool) — anxiety guide.

Ask your budtender about terpene test results — they're more predictive of effects than indica/sativa labels alone.
