The terpene profile of this AJ's Sour Diesel may offer a relaxed, easygoing experience.
Leading the profile is myrcene, a musky, earthy terpene also found in ripe mangoes, hops, and lemongrass. It could bring a soothing, comfortable body feel that sets an unhurried pace.
β-Caryophyllene follows with a peppery spice also found in black pepper and cloves. As the only terpene known to interact directly with the body's CB2 receptors, it may lend a grounding, body-calming quality.
Limonene adds a bright citrus character found in lemon and orange rinds, and could lift the mood with a cheerful, sunny energy.
α-Humulene, the earthy terpene that gives hops their woody bite, may support a sense of physical comfort and is also purported to have appetite-suppressing effects.
A handful of supporting terpenes round out the profile. Linalool brings a floral, lavender-like note long valued in aromatherapy, while α-bisabolol, the gentle compound found in chamomile, may add a calming touch. β-Pinene and α-pinene carry the crisp scent of pine needles and rosemary, and fenchol contributes a basil-like herbal note. Trace amounts of borneol (used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine), camphene (also found in fir needles), and caryophyllene oxide add subtle depth to this mellow profile.
