ABOUT TERPENES

Terpenes and terpenoids are a widespread class of

organic compounds that play a prominent role in

the aroma, taste and e�ects of cannabis. Terpenes

are not unique to cannabis, but rather are found

across the botanical spectrum and are the primary

constituents of plant-derived essential oils.

While the labels indica and sativa are commonly

understood to identify the physical characteristics

of the cannabis plant, the chemical composition,

including terpenes, is more indicative of the phys-

iological e�ects characteristic of di�erent strains.

Plants and animals use terpenes and terpenoids to

communicate with the world around them. In fact,

the same messenger can have various meanings

depending on the recipient. D-limonene found in a

juicy mandarin can say something di�erent to a

human (“Eat Me”) than to an insect (“stay away!”).

The idea that terpenes can act as messengers and

exert physiological e�ects beyond smell and taste

is not simply theoretical.
