Terpenes are organic aromatic compounds produced by many plants, including cannabis. They are responsible for the distinctive smells and flavors of different cannabis strains — from the citrusy zing of limonene to the earthy pine of pinene.

Beyond aroma, terpenes are believed to play a significant role in the effects of cannabis through the entourage effect. When combined with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, terpenes may enhance or modify the overall experience.
