Diving into the World of Cannabis Terpenes

At New Standard, we believe that understanding the intricacies of cannabis can enhance your overall experience. Today, we’re excited to take you on a flavorful journey through the fascinating world of cannabis terpenes.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct scents and flavors you encounter when exploring different strains. But terpenes do more than just please your senses; they can also influence the effects of cannabis on your body and mind.

Common Cannabis Terpenes

Let’s explore some of the most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis:

  • Myrcene: Often described as earthy or musky, myrcene is known for its relaxing properties.
  • Limonene: With a citrusy aroma, limonene is associated with mood elevation and stress relief.
  • Pinene: As the name suggests, pinene has a pine-like scent and may help with alertness and memory retention.
  • Linalool: This floral-scented terpene is known for its calming effects.

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, creating what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon suggests that the combined action of various cannabis compounds may produce more significant effects than any single component alone.
