The way I like to describe terpenes are as naturally occurring compounds in all our favorite things. For example, when you think of lavender, you generally think about its distinct smell and its calming effects. These are common thoughts and universal thoughts as well. However, would you be surprised if I told you that these smells and effects come from terpenes? Terpenes give plants their odor, taste, and overall effect. While you are enjoying your cannabis, terpenes are allowing for your ‘high.’ And once you understand how these weird terpene compounds work, you can better understand how to elevate your high while isolating certain terpenes.

I know, all this terpene talk, and it still doesn’t quite make sense. So, let’s take the terpene called ‘myrcene’ and do a little deep dive. Myrcene is found in mango and plants such as lemongrass and thyme. It is known to be a powerful antioxidant and to be an anti-inflammatory as well.

  • Beta-pinene. This terpene smells like a pine forest (now you know why some cannabis taste and smells like pine). This is also an excellent anti-depressant and has anti-cancer properties.
  • Humulene. This is commonly found in ginseng, a widely used over-the-counter supplement for gaining more energy. Who knew cannabis can give you energy:>
  • Limonene. This is probably the most common terpene and has a distinct citrus note, and also is a tremendous anti-cancer supplement. It has also been recently shown to have anti-anxiety properties in mice studies.
  • Linalool. Lovers of lavender as aromatherapy may want to seek out cannabis with linalool to help relieve stress.
  • Myrcene. Found in mangoes, Myrcene has antifungal and antibacterial properties and have sedating effects.

Understanding the differing effects of the many properties in cannabis will help you get the high you are looking for, whether for recreation or medicinal.

Terpenes can be SUPER sciency, but the good news is that many companies have already done the hard work for us all. We get to sit back, relax, and enjoy our weed.
