Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants. Cannabis plants contain a high number of terpenes, which give cannabis products a distinctive aroma and flavor.
Terpenes found in plants will protect plants from harsh weather, predators or enhance pollination.
Terpenes can enhance the health benefits alone, or synergistically with cannabinoids. They can have an entourage effect with cannabinoids to produce the desired effects of cannabis. Terpenes will not make you feel high on their own.
