What are terpenes used for?

Terpenes are volatile, unsaturated hydrocarbons that give cannabis its aromatic diversity. The unique composition of over 150 prominent cannabis terpenes gives the signature flavor, scent, and experience of a particular strain. Beyond providing cannabis with an array of unique fragrances, terpenes give cannabis a range of therapeutic and mood-altering effects. Regularly producing the same terpene profile is the key to product consistency and maximizing its health benefits.
