The Science Behind Cannabis Aromas and Effects

When you visit your local dispensary, you might notice distinct aromas wafting from different cannabis strains. These unique scents aren’t just pleasurable – they’re actually crucial indicators of the plant’s effects and potential benefits.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found naturally in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for:

• Pine-like scents (Alpha-pinene)
• Citrus aromas (Limonene)
• Lavender notes (Linalool)
• Pepper scents (Caryophyllene)

The Entourage Effect

At Joyology, we understand that terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids to create what scientists call the “entourage effect.” This interaction between compounds can enhance the therapeutic potential of cannabis products.
