A Guide to Terpenes: Understanding the Aromatic Compounds of Cannabis
Terpenes are aromatic compounds produced by plants to protect themselves from pests, attract pollinators, and deter herbivores. They are responsible for the diverse range of aromas found in nature, from the citrusy scent of lemons to the piney aroma of conifers.
In cannabis, terpenes are produced by the trichomes, tiny, hair-like structures on the plant's surface. These trichomes also produce cannabinoids, the primary psychoactive compounds in cannabis.
