Myrcene
The most common terpene in cannabis. Earthy and musky, with mango notes — typically associated with the body-heavy 'couch lock' feel.
Where else it's found
Mangoes, hops, lemongrass, thyme.
What it tends to do
Research suggests myrcene increases cannabinoid permeability across the blood-brain barrier — meaning the same THC dose hits harder when myrcene is dominant.
Strains usually myrcene-forward
Blue Dream, OG Kush, Granddaddy Purple, Northern Lights.
