"Myrcene is the most common and abundant terpene found in cannabis. It is found in high levels in most strains and is the most common dominant terpene in flower. According to Leafly, “myrcene represents over 20% of the terpene profile in modern commercial strains.” Aside from cannabis, myrcene is found in hops, lemongrass, citrus fruits, and thyme. It holds a peppery, spicy, and earthy fragrance, which can easily be detected in most cannabis flower. Myrcene also holds many potential therapeutic benefits. Due to its fragrance and properties, it is commonly used as an additive in food and beverages as well as consumer and cosmetic products, such as soaps and detergents. Let’s dive into everything that myrcene has to offer. Myrcene: Aroma & Flavors Unlike other terpenes that have more distinct flavors, such as limonene’s lemon aroma, myrcene holds an herbal and earthy scent. It has spicy and musky notes, similar to black pepper, thyme, and hops, which myrcene can all be found in. Hints of sweet balsam and clove can also be detected. Myrcene has a range of potential therapeutic benefits. It has been explored for its antioxidant, anxiolytic, antimicrobial, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and analgesic properties. A study from the 90s claims that myrcene reduces pain by increasing the spinal cord and brain’s opioid chemicals, though more research is needed. Like many other terpenes, myrcene has potential anti-cancer effects. Research has shown that myrcene can block cancer-causing effects caused by aflatoxins produced by fungi that can be found in food. It also protects against DNA damage from certain toxins. Myrcene can also help increase the transportation of cannabinoids into the brain by lowering the resistance across the blood-brain barrier. It might also improve the analgesic effects of cannabis." https://www.respectmyregion.com/terpinolene-terpene-cannabis/ Learn more over at Respect My Region.com RMR is officially in week 5 of the North American Weed Tour with plenty of new content dropping.
