Terpene Series: Myrcene

Myrcene is the most common terpene found in cannabis, and can make up as much as 65% of the total terpene profile in some strains. Myrcene terps contain an earthy and musky aroma similar to cloves. Depending on the strain, they can also have hints of fruity or citrusy flavours.

Strains with high levels of myrcene are usually indicas with sedative effects, making it a popular choice for those who use cannabis for night time, or relaxing.

Fun Fact: If you want to experience a stronger buzz from marijuana, get yourself a mango and eat it about 45 minutes before smoking. Mango contains a significant amount of myrcene, so eating it before consuming cannabis will strengthen the effects of THC and increase its absorption rate.
