Terpenes play a major role in how cannabis affects the body and mind. While cannabinoids like THC and CBD often get the most attention, terpenes are responsible for the unique aromas, flavors, and subtle effects of each product. At Green Leaf NY, understanding terpenes for relaxation can help you choose products that better support your goals.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. They create distinct scents like citrus, pine, and earthiness. More importantly, they interact with cannabinoids to shape the overall experience.
