We’ve all heard of Indica, Sativa, and Hybrids when talking about how a particular strain may affect you. But there’s another key ingredient called terpenes. They are found in all plants and provide the plant’s aroma, its characteristics, and how are bodies react when consuming them. Essentially, it’s why putting lavender oil in your tea before bedtime affects you differently than squeezing a lime into your water. For the next few episodes, we’re exploring the role that terpenes play in medicinal cannabis.

My next guest, Wesley Robins, sat down to with me to talk about terpenes. Wesley works at the Kannabis Works dispensary in Santa Ana, California. His title is Interpener, which means he helps patients, customers, and Kannabis Works staff better understand how terpenes affect cannabis strains.
