Understanding Terpene Profiles in Cannabis Strains: A Guide for Illinois Consumers

The Science Behind Cannabis Aromas

At Altius Dispensary in Round Lake Beach, we’re often asked about the distinct aromas and flavors in different cannabis strains. Today, let’s dive into the fascinating world of terpene compounds and their effects.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. These molecular structures contribute to both the smell and potential therapeutic benefits of different strains.

Common Cannabis Terpenes Include:

• Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
• Limonene – Citrus aromas
• Pinene – Pine-like scent
• Linalool – Floral, lavender smell
• Caryophyllene – Peppery, spicy undertones
