Hey everyone, Sid here. I’ve been thinking a lot about the chemistry that gives our favorite plants their unique character, and today I’m looking at linalool. If you’ve ever caught a sweet, floral whiff that instantly reminds you of fresh lavender, you're smelling linalool. It’s the same compound that shows up in actual lavender and coriander. When it comes to how it feels, linalool is commonly associated with calming, anti-anxiety effects. According to a paper by Russo, E.B. (2011) in the British Journal of Pharmacology, these are the qualities commonly reported with this terpene. If you want to seek it out, strains like Lavender, LA Confidential, and Amnesia Haze are often high in it. What's your experience with these strains? I'm not a doctor — this isn't medical advice, just what's commonly reported. Talk to a healthcare provider about what's right for you. — Internet of Pot
