Unlocking the Aromatic World of Cannabis
At The Sanctuary, we’re always looking for ways to elevate your cannabis experience. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes and how they can be paired to create unique and enjoyable effects.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct scents and flavors you encounter in different strains. But did you know that terpenes can also influence the effects you feel?
Popular Cannabis Terpenes
Some common terpenes found in cannabis include:
- Myrcene: Earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Citrusy, energizing scent
- Pinene: Fresh, pine-like fragrance
- Linalool: Floral, lavender-like smell
The Art of Terpene Pairing
By understanding the properties of different terpenes, you can create custom blends to achieve desired effects. For example, combining a strain high in myrcene with one rich in limonene might produce a balanced experience of relaxation and uplift.
