Odorous cannabis molecules
A cannabis plant releases many odour-causing molecules, as it grows from a young plant to a mature plant ready for harvest. The main odour-causing molecules in cannabis are called terpenes.
Depending on the combination and amounts of terpenes released, the odour of cannabis plants is sometimes described as:
floral
fruity
earthy
skunky
pungent
spicy
Other plants and everyday food items also have many of the same terpenes as cannabis. For example, the terpene limonene is found in cannabis and citrus fruits like oranges and lemons. It’s what causes a fruity or citrus smell.
Effects of cannabis odours
Many substances that can be smelled outside aren’t present at high enough levels to cause long-term health effects, and the terpenes that cause cannabis related odours of aren’t known to be directly harmful to human health. However, having contact with any unpleasant odours can bother some people, and influence their quality of life.
