What Are Terpenes?<\/h2>\n

When choosing cannabis, many users will focus on two things: indica vs. sativa, and THC percentage.\u00a0 In most cases these attributes will determine what a customer purchases before scent, taste, or appearance are even considered. This is problematic for a few reasons. One sativa might make you feel happy and relaxed, while another sativa could make you feel anxious and overwhelmed. Similarly, cannabis with a lower THC percentage may give one person a distinct high, while other users may not experience anything. This is where terpenes come in.<\/p>\n

The word “terpene” has been part of the cannabis lover’s vocabulary for years now, and is quickly becoming just as prevalent as THC percentages or the “indica vs. sativa” debate<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. As average users become more educated about cannabis, the concept of terpenes is beginning to become a common topic in our stores. Terpenes are, quite simply, the oils that contribute to the smell, taste, and effects of a substance. There are countless terpenes in our world, and over 200 have been found in different varieties of cannabis. Outside of the cannabis world, terpenes are commonly used in perfumes, flavorings, and essential oil diffusing.<\/p>\n

Today we will be discussing some common terpenes found in cannabis, and why terpene profile should be a deciding factor when purchasing cannabis.<\/p>\n

“I like cannabis, but I don’t want to be lazy.”<\/h2>\n

Good news. You don’t have to be! While cannabis is great for relaxation, it is also widely used as a creative stimulant, mood enhancer, and energy booster. Many users associate sativa dominant cultivars with energetic, uplifting effects. In reality, certain terpenes are the culprit for that goofy laugh or that intense focus on your most creative project. In the image below, we detail some terpenes that are generally found in sativa dominant cannabis plants.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3168″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/substance-market-cannabis-terpene-chart.pdf”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“I like cannabis, but it makes me too anxious. I just want to relax.”<\/h2>\n

If you’re someone who enjoys cannabis for it’s relaxing, calming effects, you probably ask for an indica cultivar when shopping for cannabis. The fact that the cannabis plant was an indica, however, is not necessarily the reason why it makes you sink into the couch or have a good night’s sleep. Terpenes are the culprit here too. The terpenes detailed in the image below are also found in lavender and hops, two very relaxing substances.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6707″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/substance-market-cannabis-terpene-chart.pdf”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How do I figure out what terpenes are for me?<\/h2>\n

Ask your budtender! Think about why you want to use cannabis; what are you seeking from cannabis? Some users seek energy and focus, while others are more concerned with cancer fighting and appetite stimulant properties. Let us know what you’re trying to accomplish, and we will have something for you.<\/p>\n

As a final rule: The Nose Knows. If you smell a jar, and are immediately taken by it’s scent… give it a try![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
