What Are Terpenes and Do They Matter When Buying?
Terpenes are compounds that give cannabis much of its smell and flavour. They matter when buying if you prefer certain aromas, such as citrus, pine or earth. A terpene name does not reliably tell you how a product will affect you. Compare terpene information with the product’s THC and CBD details.
Can Terpenes Tell You How Cannabis Will Affect You?
No. A terpene profile can describe a product’s aroma but it cannot guarantee a relaxing or energizing effect. Research into how terpenes may influence the cannabis experience is ongoing. The effects of a cannabis product can also differ from person to person.
Where Can You Find Terpene Information?
Look for terpene information in the product description or other information provided for the specific cannabis flower. Not every listing gives a terpene breakdown. If it does, use it to compare likely aromas rather than to predict effects.
Should You Choose Cannabis by Terpenes or THC?
Do not rely on either one alone. Terpenes help describe aroma and flavour. THC information describes potential intoxicating strength. Neither number tells you everything about a product or guarantees how you will experience it.
When browsing TWD Shop’s cannabis flower, compare the information available for each product rather than choosing only by its terpene name, THC percentage or strain label.
