Understanding Terpenes

Terpenes are aromatic molecules produced from the resin of plants. Along with flavonoids, terpenes are the scents/smells that we associate with plants. Different cultivars of Cannabis have their own combinations of terpenes which causes each strain to have their own unique scent. Conversely, cannabinoids do not produce scents.

What are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids, or phytocannabinoids, are active compounds found in the cannabis plant (as well as some other plants). These compounds come with a multitude of health benefits and can be used to alleviate various symptoms and issues.
