The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
When you receive your carefully curated cannabis delivery from Green Eagle Delivery, you might notice distinct aromas wafting from your package. These signature scents aren’t just pleasant fragrances – they’re actually complex organic compounds called terpenes that play a crucial role in the cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for:
- Distinct flavor profiles
- Therapeutic properties
- Environmental protection for the plant
- Interaction with cannabinoids
Common Cannabis Terpenes
The most prevalent terpenes found in cannabis include:
Myrcene
This most abundant cannabis terpene produces an earthy, musky aroma. It’s also found in mangoes and contributes to relaxing effects.
Limonene
Providing citrusy notes, limonene is known for its uplifting properties and is commonly found in citrus fruit peels.
Pinene
As the name suggests, this terpene creates a pine-like scent and may help with mental clarity.
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids in what’s known as the entourage effect. This interaction enhances the overall therapeutic potential of cannabis products.
