Why Terpenes Are the Real MVPs of Your High

You’ve heard the word. Maybe seen it on a label. But WTF is a terpene, and why should you care? Spoiler: they’re the unsung heroes behind your favorite strains.

The Basics:

Terpenes are the natural compounds that give cannabis its smell and flavor — from pine to citrus to skunky funk. But they do way more than just smell good.

Each terpene contributes to how a strain feels in your body and mind.

Here are a few of our favs:

• Limonene: Citrus scent, known for mood-lifting effects

• Myrcene: Earthy + musky, perfect for deep relaxation

• Caryophyllene: Spicy + peppery, may help with stress and inflammation

• Pinene: Smells like pine, keeps your mind alert

Why It Matters:

Two strains can have the same THC content — and feel completely different. Why? The terpene profile.

It’s not just sativa vs. indica anymore. If you’re chasing a certain effect (calm, focus, energy), your terpene game needs to be strong.

Our Vibe:

We curate products not just for potency — but for the full experience. At Haf Baked, we think terpenes are the soul of the strain.

So next time you're picking a product, don't just ask about THC — ask what it smells like.
