Terpene Deep Dive
🌶Caryophyllene
Spicy · Pepper · Woody
The only terpene known to directly activate CB2 receptors, producing anti-inflammatory effects without psychoactivity. Reduces stress and may help lower cortisol. Found in black pepper and cloves.
🍊Myrcene
Earthy · Musky · Tropical
The most abundant cannabis terpene. Increases cell membrane permeability, allowing THC to cross the blood-brain barrier faster. High myrcene = heavier, more sedating effect regardless of strain type. The primary predictor of couch-lock.
🍋Limonene
Citrus · Lemon · Bright
Mood elevation and stress relief. Interacts with serotonin receptors, reducing anxiety and brightening mood. The terpene behind citrus-forward strains that feel uplifting rather than heavy.
