Unlocking the Secrets of Terpenes

At NOXX, we’re passionate about educating our customers on the intricate details of cannabis. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinct scent and flavor.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the plant’s aroma and contribute to its effects on the human body. In cannabis, terpenes work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, enhancing the overall experience in what’s known as the “entourage effect.”

Common Cannabis Terpenes

• Myrcene: Earthy, musky aroma; potentially sedating effects
• Limonene: Citrusy scent; may promote mood elevation
• Pinene: Pine-like aroma; potentially improves alertness
• Linalool: Floral scent; possibly anxiolytic properties
• Caryophyllene: Spicy, peppery aroma; may have anti-inflammatory effects

The Importance of Terpenes in Cannabis Products

At NOXX, we carefully curate our product selection to offer a wide range of terpene profiles. Whether you’re visiting our 28th Street location in Grand Rapids or our East Peoria dispensary, our knowledgeable staff can guide you through the various terpene combinations and their potential effects.

Terpene Preservation

To maintain the integrity of terpenes, proper storage is crucial. We recommend keeping your cannabis products in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation.
