Cannabis terpenes are aromatic oils produced by the same glands that produce cannabinoids like THC and CBD. These compounds are responsible for the distinct aroma and flavor profiles found in different cannabis strains. Terpenes do far more than merely provide fragrance—they interact with cannabinoids, enhancing or modifying their effects through what's known as the "entourage effect."
