It’s not just indica or sativa that is important. There's so much more!
How you experience cannabis has a lot to do with terpenes. They are what give strains their SMELL and FLAVOUR, as well as play a large rolls in different cannabis experiences. The terpenes will shape the experience of the cannabis.
For example...
✨ Limonene – citrusy, bright, often described as uplifting. Commonly found in strains that smell like lemon, orange, or grapefruit — think zesty, fresh, citrus.
✨ Myrcene – earthy, musky, and often associated with more relaxing effects. Found in strains that smell herbal, skunky, or slightly sweet — those deep, classic cannabis aromas.
✨ Pinene – fresh, pine-like, crisp and clear. Energizing. Shows up in strains that smell like forests, pine needles, or rosemary — sharp, clean, and outdoorsy.
✨ Linalool – floral with soft lavender vibes. Found in strains that smell light, perfumey, or calming — sometimes slightly sweet or powdery.
Here’s the thing — two strains both be labeled “indica” will feel totally different. That’s because terpenes + cannabinoids + your unique system all interact together.
This is a big part of why most folks find smelling your cannabis gives you a "yes" or "no" feeling for what you want, like or dislike.
So much to explore with this beautiful plant.
