Terpenes


Comparable to essential oils, terpenes are the main compounds responsible for the aromas and flavours of the cannabis plant: fruit, skunk, cheese, citrus and so on. More than 100 cannabis terpenes have been identified. They are mostly found in the trichomes and therefore in the flowers. Cannabis plants produce odours as a defence mechanism against insect pests and animals and as a way to attract pollinating insects.

While the terpene profiles of cannabis plants are complex and a given variety may produce several different terpenes, typical profiles can still be described. Here are the most common:


Caryophyllene

Also found in pepper and basil, its spicy aroma is similar to those of cinnamon and cloves.

Entourage effect

Terpenes may have therapeutic functions and may also modulate the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids. The latter mechanism is called the entourage effect. Note, however, that the mechanism is hypothetical and scientifically unproven. In any case, as a given product may affect different people in different ways, any entourage effect would be very hard to measure.
