The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics
At Lucy Sky Cannabis Boutique, we often get questions about the distinct aromas of different cannabis strains. The secret lies in the fascinating world of naturally occurring compounds called terpenes.
These aromatic molecules aren’t just responsible for pleasant scents; they play crucial roles in the overall cannabis experience. Let’s break down the most common terpenes and their characteristics:
Primary Terpene Profiles:
- Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
- Limonene – Citrus undertones
- Pinene – Fresh pine scent
- Linalool – Floral, lavender-like
Understanding terpene profiles helps our customers make informed decisions about their cannabis selections. These compounds work synergistically with cannabinoids in what’s known as the “entourage effect.”
Preservation Matters
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining terpene integrity. We recommend keeping products in cool, dark places and using airtight containers to preserve these delicate compounds. Temperature fluctuations can cause terpenes to degrade, which is why our storage facilities maintain strict climate control protocols.
When you visit our boutique, our knowledgeable staff can guide you through the various terpene profiles in our product selection, helping you find the perfect match for your preferences and desired effects.
Remember, the complexity of terpenes is just one aspect of cannabis science that makes each strain unique and worthy of appreciation.
