Weed and Aromatherapy: Best Terpenes for Relaxation

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic compounds produced by many plants including cannabis. They are responsible for the distinctive aromas and flavors of different cannabis strains as well as other plants like lavender pine and citrus fruits.

Beyond their sensory qualities terpenes also have various therapeutic properties that can impact your physical and mental well-being.

Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis known for its earthy musky aroma. It has sedative and muscle-relaxant properties making it ideal for promoting relaxation and restful sleep.

Myrcene is abundant in strains like Bubba Kush which is available as a delta-8 concentrate from Artisan Slabs and also in pre-roll form from Habitas Blunts.
