What role do terpenes play in CBD edibles?
Terpenes and flavonoids are special botanical compounds that contribute to the aromas, colors, and flavors of plants. In addition to cannabinoids like CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the hemp plant contains its own terpenes and flavonoids. When these are consumed alongside CBD and THC (as in full spectrum CBD gummies), they produce what’s called the “entourage effect,” where these special compounds work synergistically to boost the beneficial effects of CBD — improved mood, reduced stress, and better sleep.
