Hey everyone, Sid here. I’ve been thinking a lot about pinene lately. If you've ever taken a hit and instantly felt like you were walking through a sharp, fresh pine forest, you’ve met this terpene. It’s that exact crisp aroma you get from pinching fresh pine needles, rosemary, or basil.
What’s really cool is how it’s commonly associated with alertness. According to researcher Russo, E.B. (2011) in the British Journal of Pharmacology, pinene is also often discussed for possibly offsetting some of the short-term memory fog people report with THC. It's wild how these compounds work together.
If you want to seek it out, strains like Jack Herer, Dutch Treat, and Bubba Kush are often high in it. What's your experience with these?
