The Science of Cannabis Aromatics

As your trusted source for premium cannabis products since 2018, Cultivate Las Vegas continues to educate our community about the intricate details that make each cannabis strain unique. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis science: terpenes.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the distinct aromas and flavors in cannabis and many other plants. These molecular aromatics do more than just provide pleasant scents; they play crucial roles in the overall effects and benefits of cannabis products.

Common Cannabis Terpenes Include:

• Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes (found in mangoes)
• Limonene – Citrusy, bright aroma
• Pinene – Fresh pine scent
• Linalool – Floral, lavender-like
• Caryophyllene – Peppery, spicy undertones

The Entourage Effect

These terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon occurs when multiple cannabis compounds work together to enhance the overall experience and effectiveness of the product.

Why Terpene Profiles Matter

At Cultivate Las Vegas, we carefully curate our selection based on comprehensive terpene profiles. Understanding these profiles helps our customers make informed decisions about their cannabis purchases, ensuring they get the exact experience they’re seeking.

Factors That Influence Terpene Profiles:

• Growing conditions
• Harvest timing
• Curing methods
• Storage conditions

Preserving Terpene Quality
