Common Terpenes Found in CBD

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the primary active compounds found in the cannabis plant. Like other cannabis strains, CBD also contains terpenes that contribute to its unique aroma and potential therapeutic effects. Here are some of the most common terpenes found in CBD:

  1. Myrcene: Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes found in cannabis, including CBD strains. It has a musky, earthy aroma and may have sedative and anti-inflammatory effects.
  2. Pinene: Pinene is another common terpene found in cannabis, including CBD strains. It has a piney aroma and may have anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory effects.
  3. Limonene: Limonene is a terpene with a citrusy aroma that may have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It is often found in CBD strains like Lemon Haze and Super Lemon Haze.
  4. Caryophyllene: Caryophyllene has a spicy, peppery aroma and may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It is found in CBD strains like Skywalker OG and Girl Scout Cookies.
  5. Linalool: Linalool is a terpene with a floral aroma that may have sedative and anxiolytic effects. It is often found in CBD strains like Lavender and LA Confidential.
  6. Humulene: Humulene has an earthy, woody aroma and may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It is found in CBD strains like Sour Diesel and White Widow.


These are just a few of the many terpenes found in CBD, and research is ongoing into their potential therapeutic benefits. It's worth noting that different strains of CBD can contain varying levels and combinations of terpenes, which can contribute to different effects and experiences.
