When shopping for cannabis flower, most people focus on THC levels or strain names. But there’s something else that makes a big impact on your experience—terpenes. These natural compounds affect how your weed smells, tastes, and even how it makes you feel. Understanding cannabis terpenes can help you find the perfect strain for your needs.
What Are Cannabis Terpenes?
Terpenes are natural oils found in many plants, including cannabis. They give each strain its unique aroma and flavor—like citrus, pine, fruit, or spice. In weed, terpenes do more than just smell nice—they play a big role in how each strain affects your body and mind.
“When customers ask why one strain makes them feel relaxed and another boosts energy, terpenes are usually the reason,” says Kristina, co-owner of ROLL’D Cannabis Co. in Kanata.
Why Terpenes Matter in Weed
Here’s why cannabis terpenes are important when buying flower:
- Smell and taste: They shape your weed aroma and strain flavor profile, making every product unique.
- Effects: Terpenes interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD. This is called the entourage effect.
- Personalization: By knowing which terpenes work best for you, you can shop strains by aroma and effects.
- Freshness: Strong terpene profiles often mean fresher, higher-quality flower.
Common Cannabis Terpenes and Their Effects
Here are a few of the top cannabis terpenes and what they might do:
- Myrcene: Earthy and musky. May help with sleep and relaxation.
- Limonene: Citrus scent. Often uplifting and good for mood.
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and peppery. May help with pain and inflammation.
- Pinene: Smells like pine. Can boost focus and energy.
- Linalool: Floral and lavender-like. Known for calming properties.
“We always guide our customers based on terpene effects, not just THC levels. That’s where the real difference lies,” adds Tyler, co-owner of ROLL’D Cannabis Co.
