Ep. 28 - Terpenes, The CannaBUS Drivers

With over eight decades of research, we understand that there are over 500 compounds to be analyzed in cannabis.  One of those compounds is a category known as terpenoids, familiarly known as terpenes or terps.  Imagine walking through a pine forest and smelling pine, or how about through a field of lavender, and smelling that delicious, relaxing smell.  If you are like me, I like my beer with hops, so imagine a hoppy beer smell or what citrus smells like.  These are the compounds that are known as terpenes, and terpenes, while they are very great for what they do and smell like, they also have a physiological effect. In today's Cannabis Nurse Truths episode, we're going to discuss terpenes, because they are actually the 'bus drivers' of every cannabis effect known to man.
