The Potential Benefits of a-pinene
Most commonly found in connifer and pine trees(not suprisingly), but also present in our favorite budding plants ;) a-pinene my personal favorite terpene. Why do I enjoy pinene so much? I find straigns high in pinene tend to be more "uplifting" or "inspiring", I like to spend alot of time day dreaming about things and pinene seems to bring out the creativity.
Strains commonly containing large ammounts of pinene are:
- OGkush
- GorillaGlue
- Jack Herer
- TrainWreck
- BubbaKush
- Pinene which is a monoterpene(meaning its made up of 2 isopreme units) has many benefits, it can act as an anti-inflamitory agent.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26119957 - It can act as a Anti-spasmodic agents(helps breatheing deeper, expecially in those with asthma).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3245822/ - claimed to "help offset" the short term memory loss caused by thc, and "promotes awareness" and be "stimulant like"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5447774/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3700080/ - it also has been shown to possibly act as an "anti-cancer agent" as have soo many compounds in cannabis.

interesting analysis, would love to try and explore all the strains
You can order terpenes off amazon, I wouldnt reccomend smoking them unless you know the vendor has a pristine lab grade(and food grade) product and you understand how small of doses are needed.
How ever, simply smelling terpenes causes effects, Smelling a rag with a little bit of pinene for a few moments produces a almost euphoria like sensation that I find invigerating and motivating. Limmonene has been show to boost your mood / immune system just by smelling it.
