The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At Cady Brook Cannabis, we often get questions about the distinct aromas and flavors in different cannabis strains. These characteristics come from naturally occurring compounds called terpenes, which play a crucial role in the overall cannabis experience.
Understanding terpene profiles helps our customers make informed decisions about their purchases. Here’s what you need to know:
Common Cannabis Terpenes:
- Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
- Limonene – Citrus aromas
- Pinene – Fresh pine scent
- Linalool – Floral, lavender-like
Terpenes do more than just provide pleasant aromas. These compounds work synergistically with cannabinoids in what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction can influence the overall effects and therapeutic potential of different cannabis varieties.
Environmental Factors
Several factors affect terpene development in cannabis plants:
- Growing temperature
- Humidity levels
- Light exposure
- Soil composition
