Ocimene
all about Ocimene
When you take that first, deep smell of some new bud and you’re hit with a woody, sometimes minty, aroma – you’re probably about to light up a strain that contains the uplifting terpene, ocimene. Herbs like peppermint are high in ocimene which may also have a “sweet” smell many associate with candy.
Smell aside, strains that are high in Ocimene can be a bit harsh and make you cough when you take that toke – so grab that bong or bubbler and cool down that smoke to help you enjoy these strains the way they should be.
