The Science Behind Cannabis Fragrances

When you step into The Farm’s dispensary locations, one of the first things you’ll notice is the diverse array of aromas emanating from our carefully curated selection of cannabis products. These distinct scents aren’t just pleasant – they’re actually crucial components that contribute to each strain’s unique effects.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis, that provide:

• Characteristic aromas
• Potential therapeutic benefits
• Protection against predators in nature
• Enhancement of cannabinoid effects

3. Pinene

The Entourage Effect

These aromatic compounds work synergistically with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the entourage effect. This interaction between various cannabis compounds can enhance therapeutic benefits and create more well-rounded effects.

When visiting The Farm’s locations across California, our knowledgeable staff can help you understand how different terpene profiles might affect your experience and help you find the perfect product for your needs.

Remember: The concentration and composition of terpenes can vary significantly based on cultivation methods, curing processes, and storage conditions. That’s why we maintain strict quality control standards at all our dispensaries to preserve these delicate compounds.
