Understanding Terpenes: The Secret to Your Perfect Strain

# Understanding Terpenes: The Secret to Your Perfect Strain When selecting cannabis, most people focus on THC and CBD percentages. However, there's a hidden world of compounds that dramatically influence your experience: terpenes. ## What Are Terpenes? Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. They're responsible for the distinct scents of pine, citrus, berry, and earth that you smell when opening a premium jar. ## The Big Three Terpenes: **Myrcene** - Earthy, musky aroma. Found in mangoes and lemongrass. Creates deeply relaxing, sedative effects. Perfect for evening use and pain relief. **Limonene** - Bright citrus scent. Uplifting and energizing. Helps with stress relief and mood elevation. Great for daytime creativity. **Pinene** - Fresh pine aroma. Promotes alertness and memory retention. Counteracts some THC-induced anxiety. Ideal for focused activities. ## How to Use This Knowledge: When browsing our selection, look beyond the numbers.
