Terpenes
The cannabis plant consists of a wide variety of chemicals and compounds. About 140 of these belong to a large class of organic hydrocarbons known as terpenes, also called “terpenoids”, or “terps”. Unlike cannabinoids, terpenes are responsible for the aroma of cannabis. Terpenoids display unique therapeutic properties that contribute meaningfully to the entourage effect by modulating the body’s interaction with cannabinoids.
