At Altius Dispensary, we believe that understanding the intricacies of cannabis can significantly enhance your experience. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes and their impact on your cannabis journey.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct smells and flavors you encounter when you visit our Round Lake Beach, IL location. But terpenes do more than just please your senses; they play a crucial role in the overall effects of cannabis.
The Entourage Effect
The entourage effect is a phenomenon where various cannabis compounds work together synergistically. Terpenes interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to modulate their effects, potentially enhancing therapeutic benefits and influencing the overall experience.
