The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
When you step into Green Genie Cannabis, one of the first things you’ll notice is the diverse array of aromas emanating from our carefully cultivated products. These distinct scents aren’t just for pleasure; they’re created by complex organic compounds called terpenes.

The Impact on Experience
Understanding terpene profiles helps consumers make informed decisions about their cannabis products. Different combinations can produce varying effects, from energizing to calming, which is why we always recommend discussing terpene profiles with our knowledgeable staff.
