Learning to cherish terpenes

I’ve experimented with combinations of terpenes plus found that limonene, linalool plus myrcene are my number ones.

The more I shopped at the dispensary, the more curious I became about the distinct odor of the plant, and i noticed that odd strains of flower have easily unique odors. I’ve learned that the odor plus taste is due to compounds in the plant called terpenes… These compounds are found in the trichomes that are found on the surface of the buds. They are easily odd from cannabinoids however can also influence effects. Terpenes are found in lots of plants, such as yellows, lemons, limes, lavender plus all sorts of herbs. They play an crucial role in attracting bees or repelling harmful predators, when talking about cannabis, terpenes can be woody, earthy, sweet, citrusy, spicy or even diesel-like. Indica strains are often associated with relaxing, sedative effects plus a terpene profile that’s more acrid plus skunky… Satives are known for an energizing plus uplifting high plus tend to provide a more sweet plus herbal odor, and cannabinoids such as THC plus CBD are odorless, then now when I browse at the dispensary, I no longer search by indica, sativa or hybrid categories. I check out the cannabinoid plus terpene profile of the strain. I’ve realized that I prefer a balanced level of THC plus CBD for both curative properties plus a milder high. I’ve experimented with combinations of terpenes plus found that limonene, linalool plus myrcene are my number ones. I make sure to consult with the budtenders, explain my desired effects plus listen to their recommendations. It’s consistently fun to try something new. There are exciting strains being introduced all the time.
