Terpenes

Cannabis Delivery Greater Boston, MA

Terpenes offer incredible therapeutic benefits to humans. And lucky for us, cannabis contains a lot of them… what a bud!

 

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes, or terps, are responsible for the bright, citrusy notes of lemon. The sweet, floral aroma of roses. And the pungent, diesel sting of cannabis. They’re what give plants their smell. And they play a role in the color, flavor, and effects of cannabis.
