The Magic of Cannabis Aromatics
When you step into our Astoria dispensary, one of the first things you’ll notice is the complex array of aromas emanating from our carefully curated selection of cannabis products. These distinctive scents aren’t just pleasant fragrances – they’re actually powerful compounds called terpenes that play a crucial role in your cannabis experience.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are natural compounds found in many plants, including cannabis, that contribute to their characteristic smell and taste. But these aromatic molecules do much more than provide pleasant scents – they can influence the effects you experience when consuming cannabis products.
Common Cannabis Terpenes:
- Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Delivers citrusy, energizing notes
- Pinene: Offers fresh, pine-needle scents
- Linalool: Provides floral, lavender-like aromatics
- Caryophyllene: Brings spicy, pepper-like notes
The Entourage Effect
At Terp Bros, we educate our community about how terpenes work together with cannabinoids to create what’s known as the “entourage effect.” This synergy between compounds is why we carefully select products that maintain their natural terpene profiles, ensuring our customers in Astoria and surrounding areas like Woodside and Jackson Heights get the full benefits of their cannabis experience.
Shopping with Terpenes in Mind
As one of New York State’s first legal CAURD dispensaries, we take pride in helping our customers understand how different terpene profiles might affect their experience. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you through our selection, helping you choose products based on their terpene content and your desired effects.
