Understanding Cannabis Beyond THC
When stepping into Green Genie Cannabis dispensary in Detroit, many customers immediately ask about THC percentages. However, the true magic of cannabis lies in its complex terpene profiles that work synergistically with cannabinoids to create unique effects.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. They’re responsible for:
- The distinct smell of different strains
- Various therapeutic benefits
- The entourage effect
- Flavor profiles
Common terpenes include:
- Myrcene – promotes relaxation
- Limonene – uplifting effects
- Pinene – mental clarity
- Linalool – stress relief
Next time you visit Green Genie, take time to smell your options and ask about terpene profiles. Your budtender can help you understand how different combinations might affect your experience. Remember, a lower THC percentage with an ideal terpene profile might provide better results than the highest THC product on the shelf.
Most importantly, when selecting your cannabis products, consider how the complete chemical profile aligns with your desired effects rather than focusing solely on potency numbers.
The next time you’re exploring our menu, pay attention to the aromatic profiles of different strains – your nose might be a better guide than any THC percentage label.
