Isolated terpenes are creating quite the stir in cannabis culture as of late. But what do they actually do? Terpenes help comprise and enhance a cannabis strain’s aroma and taste, while bolstering the effects of cannabinoids on the mind and body.

It is becoming more widely understood that cannabis’ complexity extends past its THC percentage range. There are a number of occurrences where a particular strain may not have as high of a THC percentage, but is preferred for one reason or another. This is often due to the full range of cannabinoids and the terpenes present within the strain.

WHAT CAN TERPENES DO FOR YOU?

Terpenes, like cannabinoids, are found naturally in plants and animals. They are responsible for making a strawberry taste and smell like a strawberry, and for the medicinal potential of some foods. When it comes to cannabis, they give flowers the taste and smell that we all use to describe our ganja: citrus, Skunky or Diesel, to name a few examples. Terpenes are now being associated more with mediating the effects of individual strains, rather than simply being an aromatic compound.

Now, terpenes can be extracted and added to personal products like e-liquids, concentrate extracts and edibles. With terpene concentrates, individuals can add an extra boost of their favourite strain profile to any experience. Products are simple to use and highly concentrated. Just add one small drop and transform the everyday average into delicious complexity. Below, we take a look at some of the best terpene products from Cali Terpenes.
