Terpenes vs. Cannabinoids: What's the Real Difference? 🌿🧠 [THC, CBD, Myrcene & More]

Описание: What’s the difference between terpenes and cannabinoids? 🤔 Whether you're a casual smoker, a medical cannabis patient, or a curious mind diving into cannabis science, this video breaks it all down in a simple, visual way.

Terpenes and cannabinoids are both naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant, but they play very different roles in your experience, aroma, and effects.

In this deep dive, we’ll explain:
🌿 What are cannabinoids?
👉 Cannabinoids are chemical compounds like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), CBN, and CBG that interact directly with your endocannabinoid system. They’re responsible for the physical and psychological effects of cannabis — from euphoria to pain relief to anxiety reduction.

🌸 What are terpenes?
👉 Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, especially cannabis. They give each strain its distinct smell and flavor — think citrusy lemon, piney woods, or floral lavender. Common terpenes include myrcene, limonene, linalool, pinene, caryophyllene, and terpinolene.

🧬 How do terpenes and cannabinoids work together?
Together, they create what's known as the entourage effect — a synergistic interaction that enhances or modifies the effects of THC and CBD. For example, myrcene may make your high feel heavier, while limonene could uplift your mood.

💡 Why should you care?
Understanding the difference between terpenes and cannabinoids can help you:

Choose the right strain for your needs

Read lab test results with more confidence

Optimize your high or relief based on your body chemistry

Move beyond THC percentages and into whole-plant medicine
