Terpenes are primarily responsible for the flavors and aromas of cannabis. Because they are volatile compounds, terpenes can easily attach to the aroma receptors in your nose, which means they can produce a range of scents (citrus, pine, flower, etc.) by varying ratios of different terpenes. In cannabis, the different ratio of terpenes will create "complex" profiles that strongly influence perceived quality and enjoyment.
