Mandated lab testing of terpenes—volatile organic compounds that distinctly affect cannabis aroma and taste—is done primarily as a way to ensure proper labeling of cannabis and related products, including extracts and concentrates, so buyers have confidence in what they are purchasing.[1][2][3] However, additional lab research goes into terpenes as they also show potentially useful pharmacological properties[1][3][4], and they demonstrate synergies (referred to at times as the "entourage effect") with cannabinoids that largely still require further exploration.[5][4][3][6] Testing for specific terpenes (discussed later) is less of a standardized practice, though it's rapidly improving.[1] Commonly tested terpenes by third-party testing labs include[3][2][4][5][7][8]:
