The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics

At Lux Leaf – Where Community Blooms & Cannabis Flourishes, we believe education is key to making informed decisions about cannabis products. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating aspects of cannabis science: terpenes.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found naturally in many plants, including cannabis. These molecular powerhouses are responsible for the distinct aromatic profiles that make each cannabis strain unique.

Common Cannabis Terpenes:

• Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
• Limonene – Citrus aromas
• Pinene – Pine-like scent
• Linalool – Floral, lavender-like
• Caryophyllene – Peppery, spicy undertones

Why Terpenes Matter

Understanding terpenes helps our customers in Matteson, Richton Park, and Olympia Fields make better-informed decisions about their cannabis purchases. These compounds work synergistically with cannabinoids in what’s known as the “entourage effect.”
