// Definition
A method used by Dutch police involving scratch-and-sniff cards impregnated with cannabis terpene profiles to help officers and the public identify the smell of marijuana grows in residential areas, leveraging the role of terpenes like beta-caryophyllene in producing cannabis's distinctive odor.
// From the Episode
The panel discussed how Dutch police distributed scratch-and-sniff cards to help neighbors detect illegal cannabis grows by smell. This led to a broader discussion about narcotic detection dogs and how they are actually trained to detect specific terpenes, particularly beta-caryophyllene, rather than cannabinoids themselves. This highlights the forensic significance of terpene profiles.
