Ocimene
Sweet, rare, uplifting
Terpene
What is ocimene?
Ocimene is a sweet, citrusy, herbaceous terpene with a hint of mint, found in mangoes, mint, parsley, and basil. In cannabis it's uncommon, and when it does appear it's usually in trace amounts.
Effects
Early research points to anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-viral potential, and users often describe it as uplifting and energetic. As with many minor terpenes, the evidence is mostly preclinical — but its rarity makes ocimene-rich flower worth seeking out if you find it.
