Terpenes are the oils that give each strain of cannabis flower its unique taste, smell, and even mind & body effects. These hydrocarbons are found in most plants, and serve as a natural defense against insects and fungal growth.
Studies have shown terpenes to work together with other cannabinoids to elicit various effects throughout the body. They may very well unlock the key to the therapeutic benefits of cannabis strains.
Terpenes can elicit various effects, like increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier to allow access to cannabinoids. In other words, the terpenes open the brain’s “doors”!
Once you understand how terpenes affect your individual biochemistry, you can use them as an ingredient list when seeking a desired effect.
