Learn Before You Burn
Second lesson: Terpenes.
Terpenes are the natural compounds that help give the plant its smell, flavor, and personality.
That citrusy smell?
That earthy smell?
That piney, fruity, spicy, or skunky smell?
A lot of that comes from terpenes. ๐ฑ
Terpenes are found in more than just cannabis too. They show up in things like lemons, lavender, pine, pepper, and herbs.
Some common terpenes you might hear about are:
Limonene = citrusy ๐
Myrcene = earthy or musky ๐ฟ
Pinene = piney ๐ฒ
Linalool = floral, like lavender ๐
Caryophyllene = peppery or spicy ๐ถ๏ธ
Quick version:
Cannabinoids help shape the effects.
Terpenes help shape the smell, flavor, and overall experience.
So next time you smell a flower and think, โThat one smells loud,โ thereโs a good chance the terpenes are doing their job. ๐๐จ
