THE IMPORTANCE OF TERPENES
What Do Terpenes Do?
Terpenes are molecules that help give plants a particular taste or smell. They are called aromatics. The reason lavender is known for having a soothing aroma is terpenes. These different terpenes are the reason certain marijuana strains have a citrusy or floral scent yet others have that famous “Diesel” scent. These scents help guide you towards the effect or relief that you are trying to achieve.
The power of terpenes goes beyond affecting just the nose and tongue, however. While it has always been assumed that cannabinoids were the power behind marijuana’s effects, terpenes play a large role, as well. Terpenes can bind with the same receptors in your Endocannabinoid system to create distinctly different effects. This makes understanding terpenes a particularly useful bit of cannabis information, as it means that client can better customize cannabis health benefits by knowing what terpenes they’re ingesting.
Given that marijuana terpenes differ from one strain to the next, this (in combination with cannabinoids) is why one strain can be stimulating while another may cause a heavy feeling of drowsiness and relaxation. However, it is also the reason that some strains may cause anxiety or paranoia. This is another important reason to recognize and understand terpenes, so these strains may be avoided.
Researchers believe that the combination of cannabinoids and terpenes may be responsible for marijuana’s entourage effect, a phenomenon in which its ingredients work differently (and often better) when consumed together rather than individually. For consumers interested in hemp-derived cannabinoids like CBD, there are hemp terpenes, as well.
