What are CBD Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the smells, flavors, and colors found in every plant on Earth with cannabis being no exception.
Recent studies have found that terpenes found in cannabis not only affect how a strain will taste and smell; but most importantly, they can determine how a strain will affect your body and mind. Terpenes have a unique effect on your endocannabinoid system with each type delivering a different sensory experience and targeting different conditions. For example, some terpenes may provide relief from pain and anxiety while others may promote alertness and focus.
The Entourage Effect
Studies have shown that terpenes extracted from cannabis offer a wide range of benefits when used in combination with CBD. In fact, when terpenes work together with CBD, they create a stronger effect than CBD alone.
All Green Roads terpene products combine the benefits of natural terpenes and broad spectrum CBD oil to deliver a richer experience by producing this synergistic phenomenon known as The Entourage Effect.
