Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique flavor and aroma. Total terpenes represents the combined concentration of all terpene compounds detected in the product, which may influence the overall experience through the entourage effect.
Cannabis flower is rich in trichomes, which are the resin glands containing cannabinoids and terpenes, that produce effects ranging from relaxing to stimulating depending on the potency and ratios of each active compound. Effects can usually be felt immediately and last 2-4 hours typically with a peak reached within 30 minutes to an hour.
