Why Terpenes Matter for You
Terpenes give cannabis flower, vaporizers, and edibles their unique flavor and aroma — but their role goes far deeper. The combination of cannabinoids and terpenes creates the specific feelings and effects you experience: focus, relaxation, appetite control, euphoria, and more. They're essential to both the sensory experience and the functional benefits of every product. In Terps We Trust.
Cannabis owes much of its unique character to terpenes, which influence effects like focus, relaxation, euphoria, and appetite regulation. Terpenes work in harmony with cannabinoids, amplifying and shaping the overall experience through what's known as the Entourage Effect.
Common Terpenes:
- Pinene
- Limonene
- Linalool
- Humulene
- Myrcene
Key Cannabinoids:
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
- CBD (Cannabidiol)
- CBG (Cannabigerol)
- CBC (Cannabichromene)
- CBN (Cannabinol)
- THCv (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)
The right blend of cannabinoids and terpenes produces the Entourage Effect — exponentially increasing potency and enhancing both the therapeutic and sensory experience.
