Effects of cannabis smell

Identified by its pungent and unique smell, often described as skunky, the smell of cannabis is extremely identifiable and hard to ignore. As a result, in areas with dense populations, cannabis smell within the surrounding environment is increasingly becoming an issue.

The tiny molecules that make up a cannabis plant are what create the aromatic component and pungent smell. These molecules are called terpenes. Cannabis plants create more than 1,000 different types of terpenes, however, only two types can be identified as pungent- pinene and limonene. The type of terpene produced by a cannabis plant depends on the type of plant and different strains of cannabis produce different terpenes. This results in different cannabis plants creating different degrees of odor. 

So, if all cannabis plants create different degrees and levels of smells why do we identify cannabis as so potent and why is its smell so distinguishable? When growing cannabis, cannabis growers select the strains of marijuana with the most potency of tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC, which is the strain of cannabis with the strongest potency of smell as well strongest psychotropic effects.
