Why does one plant smell like citrus while another reeks of pine, spice, or straight-up funk? It’s all thanks to terpenes— the aromatic compounds that don’t just shape the smell and taste, but actually steer the whole experience.

In this episode, Brandon and Jesse break down the most common terps you’ll run into, what they do, and why chasing terps might be smarter than chasing THC:

• 🍊 Limonene – zesty citrus vibes, known for lifting mood and calming stress

• 🌿 Myrcene – earthy and herbal, often linked to relaxing, couch-lock effects

• 🌲 Pinene – smells like a pine forest, thought to boost focus and open up airflow

• 🌸 Linalool – floral lavender notes, often used for relaxation and easing anxiety

• 🧄 Caryophyllene – spicy and peppery, unique for binding to CB2 receptors and soothing inflammation

You’ll also hear about:

• How terpenes + cannabinoids create the entourage effect

• Why your spice rack and garden are full of the same compounds shaping your high

• How to pick strains based on terp profiles instead of just THC %

Whether you’re hunting for pain relief, creative sparks, or just a better-tasting sesh, understanding terps gives you the cheat code to tailor your experience.
