What Are Terpenes?
Before we can get started with THC terpenes, we need to know what terpenes are in general. Think of any essential oils you have ever heard of or seen. The terpenes are basically the primary reason for the aroma behind those oils as well as cannabis.
By combining with cannabinoids, those terpenes create what is known as the entourage effect. This creates a fuller profile of reactions, unleashing the full power of the cannabis product.
What Kind of Effects Do Terpenes Have on THC?
So, how does all of this relate to THC terpenes? Think of it this way. Terpenes themselves are not going to provide that “high” feeling that we tend to associate with THC or cannabis in general. Terpenes can, however, impact the effects that compounds such as THC have.
Myrcene, a well-known terpene, can help produce the aforementioned entourage effect. The goal is to combine the right cannabinoids to create a better, fuller effect for the end user in one way or another.
