What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They're responsible for the distinct smells and flavors of different strains, but they do much more than just provide aroma. Research suggests terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to create the "entourage effect" - influencing the overall experience and effects.
