Terpenes: Are the organic compounds that provide aroma and flavor in cannabis and a variety of other plants. Terpenes are responsible for the aroma and flavors of cannabis and influence its effects by interacting with cannabinoids. Terpenes are formed inside cannabis trichomes, and their relative presence is directly affected by both the spectrum and intensity of light exposure. Terpenes do more than determine the scent fingerprint, they also provide therapeutic benefits like their cannabinoid partners. THC and CBD. Formed from the same shiny resinous trichomes as cannabinoids, cannabis terpenes also bind to the same endocannabinoid receptors located throughout the brain and body. For example, depending upon which receptors they react with, different terpenes may help to induce sleep and relax muscles while others reduce stress and elevate mood, or reduce inflammation and increase energy.
