What are cannabis terpenes?

Useful vocabulary, not a promised outcome

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found across the plant world. In cannabis, they contribute to a product’s scent and may appear in descriptions or lab information.

Myrcene, limonene, pinene, linalool and caryophyllene are useful vocabulary for discussing aroma and composition, but they are not a reliable shortcut to a promised effect.

• Terpene names describe aromatic compounds.
• Aroma descriptions are not guarantees.
• Look for verifiable package information.
