The Science Behind Cannabis Terpenes

As a trusted cannabis provider since 2006, MMD Shops has been educating Southern California communities about the intricate details of cannabis consumption and its various compounds. With four locations serving the region, including our Hollywood establishment, we’ve become experts in helping customers understand the crucial role of terpenes in their cannabis experience.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found naturally in many plants, including cannabis. These organic molecules contribute significantly to the distinctive smell and taste of different cannabis strains and can influence their effects on the body.

Common Cannabis Terpenes:

• Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
• Limonene – Citrus aromas
• Pinene – Fresh pine scent
• Linalool – Floral, lavender-like

The Entourage Effect

When you visit our dispensaries, our knowledgeable staff can explain how terpenes work in conjunction with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon describes how different cannabis compounds work together to enhance their individual properties.
