Terpenes: A Quick Re-take
To review quickly, terpenes found in cannabis refer to the effects, medical benefits, and tastes some types have on the consumption experience as a whole.
What Is Myrcene?
Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis, representing over 20% of the terpene profile in most common strains. Outside of cannabis, myrcene is abundant in mangos, hops, and lemongrass.
Myrcene Benefits
Myrcene is thought to be responsible for sedative properties in marijuana, but not enough information is known to declare this as true. Folk medicine has used lemongrass for sleep aids, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving effects.
