The naturally occurring compounds responsible for the smell of most plants, fruits, herbs, etc., including cannabis, are known as terpenes.
However, unlike cannabinoids, terpenes are not directly responsible for making you feel “high.” They are oftentimes still considered to be psychoactive though, because of the way they affect your brain. The entourage effect is the theory that terpenes work alongside to cannabinoids to influence your experience.
