What Do The Different Terpenes Mean?
Terpenes are what gives CBD flower strains their characteristic scents and different properties. Each one has different roles and the strain you choose will have a combination of these terpenes depending on the effects you want to experience.
For example, myrcene is known for its sedative and relaxing properties, so strains with it are great for restful sleep and relaxation. Caryophyllene boasts anti-inflammatory and stress-reduction effects, so it’s ideal for those with chronic pain. Pinene, on the other hand, helps promote alertness and focus while limonene helps lift the mood and relax the body.
How to Choose the Right CBD Flower Strain
Choosing the right CBD flower strain means knowing what kind of effects are delivered by the different terpenes, plus how they work together in conjunction with your unique body chemistry. Although everyone is different, in general we recommend the following:
For Relaxation and Sleep
Look for strains that have higher myrcene content like Bubba Kush or Special Sauce. These strains are carefully cultivated and designed to help maximize relaxation, stress relief, deeper, more restful sleep and relief from anxiety.
For Focus and Energy
Choose strains that are rich in pinene and limonene like Lifter or Hawaiian Haze. These particular strains help give you a gentle, uplifting feeling which can be great for maintaining alertness and mental acuity. They’re also helpful for those who deal with social anxiety or stress out in public situations.
For Anxiety Relief
Strains that are designed to be more balanced, like Elektra, can be the best of both worlds if you’re looking for anxiety or stress relief without the drowsiness or sedative effects.
