What are Cannabis Terpenes?
You are probably familiar with cannabinoids like THC and CBD – but do you know about Cannabis Terpenes?
Terpenes are chemicals found in cannabis that not only give the plant its taste and aroma, and also deliver some therapeutic effects.
There are over 20,000 terpenes in nature, with more than 200 identified as cannabis terpenes (not found exclusively within cannabis, but found in the cannabis plants). It is worth noting that the terpenes in cannabis vary from strain to strain.

So could this be the building material of the future?
We will be back with another roundup next week. Keep toking!
