The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics

When you step into Altius Dispensary in Round Lake Beach, one of the first things you’ll notice is the distinct aromatic profiles of different cannabis strains. These unique scents aren’t just pleasant – they’re actually crucial indicators of the plant’s potential effects and benefits.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the diverse array of aromas in cannabis and many other plants. These molecular architects of scent play a significant role in the overall cannabis experience through what’s known as the “entourage effect.”

Common Cannabis Terpenes Include:

• Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
• Limonene – Citrusy, energizing scents
• Pinene – Fresh pine aroma
• Linalool – Floral, lavender-like fragrance
• Caryophyllene – Spicy, peppery undertones
