Discovering the Aromatic World of New Mexico’s Cannabis
At Sacred Garden, we’re passionate about educating our customers on all aspects of cannabis. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes and how they contribute to the unique characteristics of cannabis strains found in New Mexico.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. They’re responsible for the distinct smells and flavors associated with different strains. But terpenes do more than just provide pleasant aromas; they also interact with cannabinoids to produce various effects on the body and mind.
New Mexico’s Unique Terpene Profiles
The climate and soil conditions in New Mexico contribute to the development of unique terpene profiles in locally grown cannabis. Some common terpenes found in our strains include:
- Myrcene: Known for its earthy, musky aroma
- Limonene: Offers a citrusy, uplifting scent
- Pinene: Provides a fresh, pine-like fragrance
- Caryophyllene: Delivers a spicy, peppery note
How Terpenes Enhance Your Cannabis Experience
Understanding terpenes can help you choose the right strain for your desired effects. For example, strains high in myrcene may promote relaxation, while those rich in limonene might offer mood-elevating properties.
At Sacred Garden, our knowledgeable staff can guide you through the terpene profiles of our various strains, helping you find the perfect match for your preferences and needs.
