Comparable to essential oils, terpenes are the main compounds responsible for the aromas and flavours of cannabis: fruit, skunk, cheese, citrus and so on. There are more than 100 cannabis terpenes. Cannabis plants naturally produce terpenes. They are mostly found in trichomes and therefore in cannabis flowers. The odours produced by the cannabis plant are defence mechanisms against insect pests and animals and also ways of attracting pollinating insects.
The terpene profile of cannabis is complex and a given plant may produce several varieties of terpenes. Still, a typical profile can be established. Here are the most common cannabis terpenes:
