Why Terpenes?
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are some of the basic building blocks that make up essential oils found in many types of medicinal plants and flowers. Essential oils are used widely as fragrances in perfumery, and in medicine and alternative medicines such as aromatherapy.
Scent & Taste
Each terpene is a small part of what makes up the overall scent & taste everything. For example: Linalool is found in Lavender. Myrcene is found in Mango, Hops, & Bay Leaves. Limonene is a key ingredient in most citrus. Those are just three of over 200+ terpenes found in cannabis, and 2000 found in nature

The "Entourage Effect"
Terpenes not only effect the scent & taste of our favorite foods. The short of it is that the Terpenes are just as important to how you feel as the percentage of THC/CBD in the product. Each of the terpenes work together in concert with the cannabinoids to produce different effects and healing properties.
