Adult use cannabis is made up of many compounds that attribute each individual plant’s effects, smell, and taste. When it comes to taste and smell, most of those attributes come from the terpene makeup of the plant. If you want to get a brief synopsis of terpenes before digging into this specific one, check out RiverBluff’s article Terpenes 101. The more you learn about terpenes the better you can tailor your cannabis experience! From finding the best-tasting strain to the perfect strain for your needs, understanding terpene profiles is nothing but beneficial. We’re taking a closer look at Caryophyllene! So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some weed stuff! 
Caryophyllene Basics
Caryophyllene smells like your grandma’s spice rack and can be found in common spices such as black pepper, oregano, cloves, basil, rosemary and cinnamon. When it is inhaled, it gives off a silky-smooth lavender taste with undertones of smoked wood. If you like earthy tastes, Caryophyllene is a terpene to look at. If you like something sweeter, you may want to look at other terpenes. Caryophyllene has anti-inflammatory properties and has been linked to improving cold tolerance and curbing impulsive and addictive behavior such as nail biting and hair pulling. When paired with paclitaxel (a chemotherapy treatment), Caryophyllene has been linked to resulting in 189% cancer cell growth inhibition over using paclitaxel alone. Popular cannabis strains high in Caryophyllene include Bubba Kush, Candyland, Chemdawg, Cookies and Cream, and Death Star.
