Cannabis Stains Unique Aromas Are from Terpenes

Did you know that each strain of cannabis has its own unique aroma and scent? This is caused by the terpenes found within the particular strain of cannabis.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are oils that are fragrant and found in a wide range of plants. From citrus to pine and other such species. The scents terpenes secrete are what gives flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables their unique scents. This is why an orange smells like an orange and roses smell like roses.

Presently, over a hundred different types of terpenes have been identified. It is not unreasonable to anticipate there are many more terpenes still waiting to be discovered. Most of the terpenes that have been identified have come from cannabis plants. In fact, certain strains of cannabis can been found to contain around a hundred terpenes alone!
