// Definition
A class of sulfur-containing aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to pungent, gassy, and skunky aromas. VSCs include thiols and thiolates, which have extremely low odor detection thresholds and can dominate a cultivar's scent profile even at trace concentrations.
// From the Episode
This was the marquee topic of episode 228, the dedicated 'Aromatic Volatile Episode.' Ian from Abstrax and Dr. Mark discussed how VSCs explode in concentration at the end of plant maturation, with Nick (Yaka) being credited as the first person on Hash Church to introduce thiols and thiolates to the conversation years ago. Bubbleman called it a turning point where 'terps just wasn't covering it anymore.'
