Terpene Glossary Entry 

# Terpene

Aromatic plant compounds that determine the smell and taste of cannabis.

## Detailed Explanation

Terpenes are a large group of aromatic compounds found in many plants. In cannabis, they determine the smell, taste, and presumably also the individual effects profile of different strains. In combination with cannabinoids, they are believed to contribute to the so-called entourage effect.
