The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics

At Lux Leaf Dispensary, where community blooms and cannabis flourishes, we believe in educating our valued customers about the intricate details of cannabis science. Today, we’re diving deep into the fascinating world of terpenes and their therapeutic properties.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the distinct aromas and flavors in cannabis and many other plants. These molecular architects don’t just create pleasing scents; they play a crucial role in the overall cannabis experience.

Common Cannabis Terpenes Include:

  • Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
  • Limonene – Citrus aroma
  • Pinene – Pine forest scent
  • Linalool – Lavender-like fragrance
  • Caryophyllene – Peppery undertones

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon explains how different compounds in cannabis work together to enhance therapeutic benefits.
