How to read a terpene profile

How to read a terpene profile

THC tells you how strong. Terpenes tell you how it feels. They're the aromatic oils the plant makes — the same family of compounds behind citrus peel, pine forests, and lavender — and they shape the entire experience.

Limonene reads bright and citrus, often uplifting. Myrcene is earthy and soft, the one behind a heavier, restful body. Caryophyllene brings warm pepper and spice.
