Researchers have identified at least 200 terpenes in cannabis.

Terpenes are secreted in the same glands that produce cannabinoids such as THC. If you’re wondering why terpenes are so important, it’s because they are responsible for the unique aroma and flavor of the various strains such as pine, mint, berry, and citrus. There’s also a belief that terpenes influence the effects. Terpenes can promote stress-relief and relaxation or increase focus and offer uplifting effects.
