Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds produced by a variety of plants, including cannabis, conifers, and citrus trees. They are responsible for the distinctive flavors and aromas of many plants and have been used in traditional medicine for their potential therapeutic effects. In plants, terpenes serve several functions, including attracting pollinators and repelling predators.
In the context of cannabis, terpenes are often associated with the plant’s aromatic profile, commonly referred to as the “terpene profile” or “terpene profile.” Cannabis strains can have different terpene profiles, contributing to the unique scent and flavor of each strain.
Terpenes are not unique to cannabis; they are present in a wide range of plants and contribute to the overall sensory experience of various fruits, flowers, and herbs. In addition to their role in aroma and flavor, terpenes are being studied for their potential therapeutic properties, both individually and in conjunction with cannabinoids like THC and CBD.
A good terpene percentage in cannabis that supports the entourage effect typically falls within the range of 1% to 4% of the total weight of the flower or concentrate. Here’s a breakdown:
1–2% total terpenes: Mild aroma/flavor and moderate contribution to the entourage effect.
2–4% total terpenes: Considered a robust terpene profile—often associated with enhanced effects, stronger aroma, and greater synergy with cannabinoids like THC and CBD.
4%+: Quite high—typically found in well-cured, premium flower or live resin products. These can deliver a very noticeable entourage effect.
