The Most Common Terpene in Cannabis Strains

The most common terpenes found in cannabis strains include, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Mycrene, and Terpinolene. Each of these terpenes produce the different effects that you feel from some of your favorite strains. 

Find out how these terpenes affect you when smoking or ingesting cannabis along with which strains they can be found in with the help of Strains Dispensary.

Limonene

Limonene naturally occurs in orange and lemon rind making it a highly aromatic, citrus terpene. Limonene has been known to produce elevated mood and is found in the following popular strains: 

  • Wedding Cake 
  • Banana OG
  • Purple Hindu Kush

Caryophyllene

This terpene is actually found in black pepper, clove, and cinnamon. Unlike other terpenes that bind with receptors in the nervous system, caryophyllene’s large molecular structure allows it to bind with endocannabinoid receptors giving it powerful pain-relief and anti-inflammatory properties. Common strains that contain caryophyllene include:

  • Pineapple Express 
  • Sour Diesel
  • Chemdog
  • Gelato 

Pinene

Found primarily in pine needles, Pinene is the most commonly occurring terpene found in nature. It delivers anti-anxiety effects as well as pain relief. Pinene is found in the following strains:

  • Cotton Candy Kush
  • Cannatonic 
  • Green Crack 

Myrcene 

Myrcene is the most prevalent terpene in the cannabis market and it can also be found in hops and lemongrass. The effects of Myrcene have been described as calming and can be found in strains such as:

  • Blue Dream
  • OG Kush
  • Purple Haze 

Terpinolene 

Like Limonene, Terpinolene is also a citrus terpene but it appears in nutmeg, cumin, and lilac. Not much is known about the effects that it produces when smoked or ingested, however it does have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Common strains include:

  • Orange Cookies 
  • Dutch Treat

Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis

Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis

Microdosing is the practice of consuming very small doses of cannabis to enhance physical or mental well-being without feeling the intoxicating effects that you feel with a normal dose. A microdose is usually a fraction of the normal amount you would consume and it’s typically consumed on a regular basis.

Benefits of Microdosing

Microdosing THC can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance physical well-being. It can also be a great way to experience a relaxed and focused high and still be able to concentrate and get things done. If you are someone who experiences anxiety when it comes to completing tasks, microdosing can be a great way to take the edge off while still being able to function.

Another benefit of microdosing is that it can help to reset your tolerance if you are an avid cannabis consumer. If you are trying to limit the amount of cannabis you consume, microdosing can help you lower your tolerance once your body acclimates to the lowest effective dose.

Ways to Microdose Cannabis

It can be hard to know how much cannabis you are consuming when smoking it, however it’s not impossible. If smoking is your preferred method, try packing the bowl less or try to only take one or two hits of a joint.

Edibles are ideal for microdosing because they allow you to accurately measure your dosage so you know exactly how much you are consuming. You can also break down different types of edibles such as gummies, so you can take even less of a dose.

Cannabis Gummy Candies

Dosing Guide 

1-5 milligrams- The lowest dosage available at dispensaries is usually 5 mg. If you want to make the dosage even lower for yourself you can break apart the edible into smaller pieces. 

5-15 milligrams- This range of milligrams can provide more potent effects for people looking to experience relief from pain, stress, or anxiety. 

15-30 milligrams- if you are a regular cannabis user and have taken edibles before this range of dosage might be ideal for your tolerance. The effects are more potent and last longer. 

30-50 milligrams and higher- For those accustomed to edibles or those who have a hard time absorbing cannabinoids, the 30-50 mg range might be the perfect amount to experience things like insomnia relief and euphoric feelings.

Start With 5 Milligrams of THC

Whether you are a long-time cannabis user or you are just now getting into trying it, you should always begin with a low dose when it comes to taking edibles, and 5 milligrams is the perfect place to start. The reason for this is that everyone’s body metabolizes cannabinoids differently so it’s always better to start with too low of a dose because you can always go up from there. 

Wait One Hour for Effects 

Patience is key when it comes to edibles because it takes a while to absorb into your system unlike smoking which delivers an instant effect. You may not feel like the first dose was high enough but it’s important to wait it out before taking more because you want to avoid accidentally overdoing it. 

Always remember to start off low and slow if it’s your first time experimenting with edible cannabis. As you build up a tolerance you can add increments of 5 mg until you find the perfect amount that is right for you.
