What are Terpenes?
Do you know what terpenes are? If you’re a consumer of CBD products, you really should because they’re such an important component. Terpenes are found in a wide assortment of plants, herbs, fruits, and flowers and are responsible for providing that aroma that we all love. Cannabis plants have more than 200 of them, making each plant unique. To understand how terpenes affect your favorite CBD products, let’s take a closer look into this flavorful world.
Background on Terpenes
You can think of terpenes as volatile compounds that produce the intoxicating aroma that make flowers stand out. Though cannabis plants have hundreds of active terpenes, only a handful of the most important ones are included in CBD products. As a result, terpenes are one of the many reasons you love your favorite CBD products so much.
Additionally, terpenes combine with cannabinoids, another vital compound found in cannabis plants. They are the substances that provide CBD products with effects ranging from mild to potent. Together, terpenes and cannabinoids form a synergistic relationship to enhance potency. 
Common Terpenes
Caryophyllene, terpinolene, linalool, limonene, pinene, myrcene, and humulene are some of the most common terpenes in many CBD products. These terpenes provide a variety of scintillating scents that can work separately or when combined. Caryophyllene is spicy, like fresh black pepper. Terpinolene is complex with citrus, floral, herbs, and pine notes. Additionally, pinene is piney, myrcene is peppery, limonene is lemony, and humulene is herbaceous.
Each of these terpenes offers different effects. To get the best results from your CBD product, research each one before purchasing your CBD product.
