The Science Behind Cannabis Terpenes
When you step into any premium cannabis dispensary, one of the first things you’ll notice is the distinctive array of aromas. These characteristic scents aren’t just pleasant – they’re produced by compounds called terpenes, which play a crucial role in the cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the unique smell profiles you’ll encounter at our NOXX locations across Grand Rapids and East Peoria. These natural compounds do more than just create appealing scents; they can influence the overall effects of cannabis products.
Common Cannabis Terpenes:
- Myrcene: Creates earthy, musky notes
- Limonene: Produces citrusy aromas
- Pinene: Offers fresh pine scents
- Linalool: Provides floral, lavender-like fragrances
The Entourage Effect
When you visit our dispensaries, whether at NOXX 28th Street or Cookies Grand Rapids, our knowledgeable staff can explain how terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids in what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction between compounds can enhance the therapeutic potential of cannabis products.
