Terpenes are the aromatic oils secreted from the same glands that produce cannabinoids. In recent years, the science has shown that a strain’s “terpene profile” or combination & quantities of various terpenes have a tremendous and profound impact of the effects of a strain on the human body.
When you smell a cannabis product and get hints of fruit, wood, pepper, cheese, fuel, lemons, oranges, etc – that is the result of that particular strain’s terpene profile.
