An Infographic: Primary Terpenes & Their Potential Effects

Unlocking the Power of Terpenes: A Closer Look at Cannabis’s Aromatic All-Stars

With just a whiff, cannabis can transport you—whether it’s the earthy richness of cloves, the sharp sweetness of citrus, or the grounding scent of pine.

These aromas, of course, come from terpenes, a diverse group of naturally occurring compounds found in all kinds of plants, from rosemary and mango to lavender and lemon. Terpenes are responsible for the unique scents and flavors of your favorite strains, and more importantly, they may play a vital role in shaping how cannabis makes you feel.

Here at Tweedle Farms, we’ve always taken a plant-first approach to our products. With years of experience cultivating and curating high-quality hemp flower, we know firsthand that what you smell often says a lot about what you’ll experience. But we also know our limits, and when it comes to digging into the science, we turn to the experts.

That’s why we’re excited to share this new infographic created by our trusted lab partner, SC Labs. It breaks down six of the most common primary terpenes found in cannabis and hemp, including where else they show up in nature, what they might do, and which strains they’re typically associated with. Whether you're just beginning to explore the world of terpenes or you’re already seeking specific profiles for specific outcomes, this is a great reference tool to help guide your journey.

So take a look, learn something new, and maybe even discover why your favorite strain smells the way it does.
