Terpenes & Strains
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that give each strain its unique aroma and flavor. They also influence effects — for example, limonene can provide uplifting vibes, while myrcene may help with relaxation.
Terpenes interact with cannabinoids to create the entourage effect, which enhances or balances the experience. Choosing strains based on terpene profiles often gives better, more predictable results than just looking at THC levels.
Favorites include Blue Dream, Gorilla Glue #4, and Gelato, known for their balanced effects and rich terpene profiles.
Start by defining your goal — relaxation, focus, or creativity. Our budtenders can guide you to strains that match your desired effect and tolerance level.
