Why Are We Asking Consumers to Memorize Chemical Compounds?

"Look at those terps!"
"Check out those terpene levels"
"This strain has a lot of terps"

I've been in the cannabis industry for years now and I'm getting a little impatient with "Terpenes are the future of how consumers will buy cannabis" theory. I'm constantly hearing how "good" a cannabis product is based on the same vague references to terpenes that are listed in the beginning of this post.

My opinion is that consumers are going to buy based off quality ingredients, consistency, and brand value transparency...not chemical compounds. The "connoisseurs" or "ganjiers", maybe. Maybe.

I want to believe that terpenes will play a big role in cannabis product selection because I'm becoming a bit of a nerd learning cannabis science, especially as it relates to pharmacological use cases. But I am still struggling envisioning the day that I or someone else walks into a dispensary or visits an online store looking for the "linalool" section. We don't have to create our own lexicon and confuse consumers. Lavender, gas, citrus, pine, pepper, etc. These are all words consumers use that they understand. Why are we making this more difficult than it has to be? Why are we asking consumers to memorize chemical compounds?
