What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are a class of naturally occurring hydrocarbons found throughout nature and are responsible for the aromatic qualities of many plants, including cannabis. Along with cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, terpenes can help determine the quality and effects of cannabis. With lab results available for each batch of flower, we are able to see many of the dominant terpenes and use this information to accurately identify the strain and its anticipated effects.

Although various industries have performed research on terpenes, only recently have studies begun on the precise effects of inhaling terpenes. Research laboratories at places like Johns Hopkins University are now starting to study the effects of smoked and vaporized terpenes to better understand the potential uses of terpenes and effects of terpenes on cannabis.

Myrcene – (myr· cene) (ˈmərˌsēn, -sə̇n)

The most abundantly found Terpene in cannabis is Myrcene. Myrcene is responsible for a great deal of the earthy, musky, and sometimes sweet, berry-like aromas that we commonly come across in the world of cannabis. Especially when it is present in large amounts, Myrcene can also be responsible for the “ston-y”, heavy-handed euphoria of many cultivars.

Myrcene is found in: allspice, some types of guava, wild thyme, mango, hops and cannabis strains like Grand Daddy Purple, Pink Lemonade, Blueberry

Limonene – (lim· o· nene) (ˈli-mə-ˌnēn)

One of the most recognizable terpenes by taste and smell is Limonene. Limonene is the parent compound to the entire family of monoterpenoids in cannabis. Limonene is often pleasantly sharp, citric, bright, even slightly bitter and is known for its uplifting and clear-headed cerebral quality.

Limonene is found in: citrus rinds, caraway, peppermint and cannabis strains like MAC 1, Thunder Cookies, Sunshine OG

Pinene – (pi· nene) (ˈpī-ˌnēn)

The most abundantly found terpene in nature is Pinene. Pinene is a bicyclic monoterpene with two unique structural isomers, Alpha- and Beta-Pinene. As its name suggests, Pinene is recognizable by its fresh, pine-y, sweet, evergreen-like aroma and can also present a turpentine/gas-like aroma. It is responsible for the more intense focus-like euphoria found in certain cultivars.

Pinene is found in: conifer trees, eucalyptus, basil, cedar, nutmeg, bitter fennel and cannabis strains like Girl Scout Cookie, G6, Turbo Space Cake (Garlic Cut)
