The Aromatic World of Terpenes: Nature’s Hidden Healers

When you step into Altius Dispensary in Round Lake Beach, IL, you’re not just entering a cannabis store; you’re stepping into a world of aromatic wonders. Serving the broader area, including Waukegan and Gurnee, Altius is committed to educating customers about all aspects of cannabis, including the often-overlooked terpenes.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct smells and flavors of different cannabis strains. But these compounds do more than just please our senses; they may also offer various therapeutic benefits.

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, creating what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon suggests that the combined effect of various cannabis compounds is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Common Terpenes and Their Potential Benefits:

• Myrcene: May have sedative and muscle-relaxing properties
• Limonene: Potentially mood-elevating and stress-reducing
• Pinene: Possibly improves alertness and memory
• Linalool: May have calming and anti-anxiety effects

At Altius Dispensary, we believe in the power of knowledge. Our knowledgeable staff can help you understand the terpene profiles of different strains, allowing you to make informed decisions about your cannabis consumption.
