Meet the Underdogs: Terpinolene, Ocimene & Bisabolol — Cannabis Terpenes You Shouldn’t Sleep On
Now that we have half of the 12 terpenes under our belt it’s about time we meet the other half! All terpenes are essential to shaping how we perceive and interact with cannabis and none should be slept on, period. Let’s get to know Terpinolene, Ocimene, and Bisabolol.
Terpinolene: The Wildcard Terpene
Not your average terpene, terpinolene brings a vibrant mix of pine, citrus, and herbs to the party. It’s the scent of fresh forests and clean energy, often hiding in sativa-dominant strains. But it’s not just about aroma—terpinolene has been linked to antioxidant, antibacterial, and even subtle sedative effects. Think creativity, focus, and a little calm wrapped into one. It’s rare, but when you find it, you’ll know.
Ocimene: Sweet, Bright, and Energizing
Ocimene is the unsung hero of uplifting strains. Bursting with sweet, floral, and minty notes, it’s like a splash of sunshine in your sesh. This terpene doesn’t just smell amazing—it may also pack antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory powers. It’s often found in strains that promote a light, energetic high that leaves you refreshed and ready to go.
Bisabolol: The Chill Factor
Soft, soothing, and deeply calming, bisabolol is the gentle giant of the terpene world. Found in both cannabis and chamomile, it’s all about relaxation and recovery. With potential benefits like anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action, bisabolol adds a healing touch to your high—perfect for those chasing relief without heavy sedation. Think spa day in a bud.
In short:
These three terpenes—Terpinolene, Ocimene, and Bisabolol—may not get as much spotlight as heavy-hitters like Myrcene or Limonene, but they each play a powerful and unique role in shaping the cannabis experience. From boosting your mood to calming your body, these aromatic compounds are key players in both recreational and medicinal effects. Stay tuned as we wrap up our terpene deep-dive series with the final three of the 12 major cannabis terpenes!
