The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At NOXX, we believe that understanding the complex chemistry of cannabis helps our customers make more informed decisions. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis science: terpene profiles and their synergistic effects.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. These molecules are responsible for the distinct flavors and scents that make each strain unique. At our dispensary locations across Grand Rapids and East Peoria, our trained staff can help you identify these distinct characteristics.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky notes
- Limonene: Citrus aromas
- Pinene: Pine and forest scents
- Caryophyllene: Peppery, spicy undertones
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like fragrance
The Entourage Effect
Research suggests that terpenes work in harmony with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This synergistic relationship enhances the overall therapeutic potential of cannabis products.
