The Science of Cannabis Aromatics
When you step into Elevate SoHo Cannabis, one of the first things you’ll notice is the diverse array of aromatic compounds emanating from our carefully curated selection. These distinctive scents aren’t just pleasant – they’re actually crucial indicators of the plant’s effects and therapeutic potential.
Key Terpenes Found in Cannabis:
- Myrcene – Produces earthy, musky notes
- Limonene – Offers citrusy, fresh scents
- Pinene – Creates pine-like aromatics
- Linalool – Provides floral, lavender notes
- Caryophyllene – Generates peppery undertones
These naturally occurring compounds work synergistically with cannabinoids to create what scientists call the “entourage effect.” At our dispensary locations across Lower Manhattan, from the Financial District to the East Village, our knowledgeable staff can help you understand how different terpene profiles might enhance your experience.
The Impact on Experience
Terpenes do more than just provide aroma – they can influence the overall effects of cannabis products. For instance, strains high in myrcene often produce more sedating effects, while limonene-rich varieties tend to offer more uplifting experiences.
Storage and Preservation
To maintain optimal terpene profiles, proper storage is essential. We recommend keeping products in cool, dark places and using airtight containers to preserve these delicate compounds. This ensures that whether you’re visiting us in SoHo or Chinatown, you’re getting the full aromatic and therapeutic potential of your cannabis products.
Remember to consult with our team about which terpene profiles might best suit your needs and preferences. Understanding these aromatic compounds can help you make more informed decisions about your cannabis choices.
