It’s often enjoyed in the back half of the day to ease stress.

Since then, OG Kush has become a worldwide staple used to create numerous famous strains like GSC and Headband.

Bubba’s stocky plant stature and bulky bud structure suggest Afghani descent, but its genetic origins aren’t certain. The breeder whom this strain was named after states that Bubba Kush emerged just after 1996, when an OG Kush pollinated an unknown indica strain obtained in New Orleans.

Marijuana Terpene Information

Have you always wondered why some marijuana strands can taste and smell so different from others? The answer is marijuana terpenes.

Terpenes are an important component of the cannabis plant that most users don’t know that much about. However, terpenes are what make each strand unique. Knowing more about them will help you pick the right strand of marijuana for you.

Let’s break down what cannabis terpenes are, their benefits, and go over some of the most popular terpene types.

What Are Marijuana Terpenes?

Terpenes are the substance in plants that gives them their specific scent and flavor. All plants have terpenes, and they are an important component in essential oils, teas, herbs, and marijuana. You can also find terpenes in CBD oil.

If you’ve ever wondered why different strains of cannabis have different smell and taste profiles, it’s because they have different terpenes. However, even plants that are the same can have different terpenes and smell and taste slightly different.

A couple of factors impact the terpene profile of marijuana plants, including:

  • Soil
  • Climate
  • Rainfall
  • Harvest time
  • Level of maturation

Terpenes serve the plant by attracting pollinators and deterring predators. They also have medicinal properties that can help humans when we consume the plant, which we will get into later.

Types of Marijuana Terpenes

Some terpenes are calming while others are energizing. The more you know about the most common types, the more you’ll be able to choose the right marijuana strain for your needs.

Let’s break down the types of cannabis terpenes you’re most likely to see.

Myrcene

Myrcene is an herbal terpene that is commonly found in marijuana. It’s one of the most calming terpenes, and it has an earthy scent that’s similar to clove.

Myrcene is also present in lemongrass, citrus fruits, thyme, and eucalyptus. It’s suspected to be anti-inflammatory, and when combined with cannabis, it helps the THC work faster.

If you want to feel calmed quickly when you use marijuana, look for one with myrcene terpenes. It is often used to help with sleep and muscle relaxation.

Cannabis strands with myrcene include Bubba Kush, OG Kush, Blue Dream, Blueberry, and more.

Pinene

Pinene is also a calming terpene with anti-inflammatory properties. It is present in pine needles, dill, and rosemary, along with many cannabis strands.

It has a woodsy pine scent and it’s typically used for pain relief. You can find pinene in strands like Blueberry, Blue Dream, Bubblegum, Citrus Sap, and more.

Limonene

This terpene is actually formed out of pinene, and it’s present in many citrus fruits. Limonene reaches the bloodstream quickly, which is why many users report having a great experience with it.

It’s more energizing than the other types of terpenes we’ve discussed, and it acts as an appetite suppressant. Strains with limonene include Strawberry Banana, Berry White, Tahoe OG, and more.

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene is a peppery terpene found in cinnamon, black pepper, and lavender. It has strong anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it’s one of the most popular terpenes.

It has a spicy scent and delivers a warming sensation. You can find it in strands like Candyland, Bubba Kush, Original Glue, and more.

Linalool

This terpene is also popular for helping with sleep. It’s related to lavender and its floral scent is very soothing.

People who use cannabis to help with anxious and depressed feelings often choose strands with linalool. It is also reported to help strengthen the immune system.

You can find linalool in strands like Do-Si-Dos, Scooby Snacks, Zkittlez, and more.

Terpinolene

Terpinolene is present in many strands of cannabis in small amounts. However, it still makes a big impact on the scent and flavor profile of the strand.

It’s also found in cumin, lilac, and nutmeg, and it has an uplifting effect. It’s commonly added to soaps because it has a fresh scent and anti-microbial properties.

When it comes to scent, it has a little bit of everything, including floral, citrus, earthy, and herbaceous smells.

Cannabis strands with high levels of terpinolene include Jack Herer, Golden Pineapple, Golden Goat, Orange Cookies, and more.

Camphene

This terpene smells like camphor and fir needles. It has a damp and earthy scent and flavor profile, and you can also find it in rosemary, ginger, fir, sage, and more.

It is believed to assist with maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. It’s also amazing for clearing out sinuses, and it’s an amazing anti-oxidant when combined with vitamin C.

You can find camphene in Strawberry Banana, Ghost OG, Mendocino Purps, and more.

Benefits of Terpenes

Terpenes can make the healing and medicinal properties of marijuana more effective. Scientists refer to it as the “entourage effect” when terpenes combine with THC and all of the components become more potent.

Even though terpenes are non-psychoactive, they can make using marijuana a more enjoyable experience With their unique scents and flavors.

Choosing the Right Terpene for You

The type of marijuana terpene that you go with depends on your desired result. Are you wanting a calming or energizing effect from marijuana? Do you have specific medical needs that you want it to support?

It’s a good idea to experiment to find the terpenes you like best. You may prefer the citrusy flavor of limonene more than the earthy flavor of myrcene, or vice versa.
