What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and other plants. They contribute to the unique smell, flavor, and color of different cannabis strains.
While terpenes don't produce a traditional "high," they may influence the effects of THC and are being studied for their potential therapeutic properties.
