The Magic of Cannabis Terpenes: Nature’s Aromatic Compounds
As your trusted cannabis retail store in Astoria, Queens, we’re excited to dive deep into one of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis – terpenes. These remarkable aromatic compounds are responsible for the distinct smells and flavors that make each cannabis strain unique.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found not just in cannabis, but in virtually all plants. They’re responsible for:
• The citrusy smell in lemons
• The relaxing scent of lavender
• The distinctive pine forest aroma
• The complex bouquet of cannabis
Common Cannabis Terpenes
At Terp Bros Dispensary, we take pride in educating our Astoria community about these essential compounds. Here are some prevalent terpenes you’ll find in our products:
1. Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
2. Limonene – Citrus aromas
3. Pinene – Fresh pine scents
4. Linalool – Floral, lavender-like
5. Caryophyllene – Spicy, peppery profiles
Why Terpenes Matter
Understanding terpenes can enhance your cannabis experience. As one of New York State’s first legal CAURD dispensaries, we’re committed to helping our customers make informed choices about their cannabis products based on terpene profiles that match their preferences and desired effects.
The Entourage Effect
Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This interaction between compounds can influence the overall experience and potential benefits of cannabis products.
