Pinene

Pinene is a common cannabis terpene. Pinene has a pine-like fragrance, like evergreen woodlands. Alpha-pinene is the most frequent pinene isomer in cannabis.

Pinene offers a range of potential therapeutic benefits. It may act as a bronchodilator, expanding airways and improving airflow to the lungs.

Pinene also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. In terms of mental effects, pinene may aid memory retention and focus.

The piney aroma can promote alertness. These combined effects make pinene a popular terpene for some cannabis consumers.

Strains high in pinene may benefit those seeking natural anti-inflammatory properties or a crisp herbal aroma profile.

The presence of pinene contributes to the entourage effect of cannabis terpenes working synergistically with THC and other cannabinoids.

Consumers can look for varieties with a pine tree flavor or aroma to experience the effects of abundant pinene levels.
