Adult-use cannabis consumers are getting more and more knowledgeable. The three letter compounds we all love are well known (most people have a preference to indica or sativa) but many overlook the terpenes that help shape the taste and effects of their bud. Identifying what terpenes you enjoy can help find the cannabis flower you’ve always dreamt of. You can learn the basics of terpenes by clicking HERE. Otherwise, get ready for an in depth look at Valencene as we continue to put the WEED in WE EDucate! So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some weed stuff.
Basics of Valencene
Valencene is the most citrusy of terpenes. It is commonly found in everyday fruits like Valencia oranges and grapefruit. Valencene, besides tasting and smelling amazing, also has strong therapeutic effects such as its anti-inflammatory properties carried in most terpenes, as an antioxidant to help against oxidative stress, and as an antibacterial agent being able to fight off some microbes. It is used industrially in beauty products, perfumes, as well as insect repellants. This versatile terpene isn’t found in very high quantities in cannabis but when it is present it is unmistakable.
