Aroma is one part of a product

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. Product descriptions often use words such as citrus, pine, floral, or earthy to describe aroma. These descriptions can help you compare products, but do not establish a medical benefit or predict how a product will affect you.

Read the information for the actual product

Look for the product name, manufacturer, package size, ingredients where provided, cannabinoid information, and any batch or test information supplied with the product. A strain name or a general terpene description is not a substitute for the label on the item you are buying.

Questions our team can help with

Ask about available product formats, package sizes, aroma descriptions, and manufacturer information. For advice about a health condition or a medicine you take, speak with a qualified healthcare professional. Retail staff cannot provide a treatment plan or personalized dose.
