Hey everyone, Sid here. Today I’m geeking out on pinene, a terpene that hits you right in the face with a sharp pine, fresh forest smell that instantly takes me back to walking through the woods. It’s pretty cool how this same compound pops up all over nature, like in actual pine needles, fresh rosemary, and basil. When it comes to how it feels, pinene is commonly associated with alertness. It’s also often discussed for possibly offsetting some of the short-term memory fog people report with THC (Source: Russo, E.B. (2011), British Journal of Pharmacology). If you want to smell or taste it for yourself, strains often high in pinene include Jack Herer, Dutch Treat, and Bubba Kush. 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
