Why Choose Humulene Weed Strains?

Humulene is one of the most fascinating cannabis terpenes. Earthy and rich with a hint of bitterness and spice and hops in the nose, humulene has been associated throughout history with appetite suppression, anti-inflammatory, and sedation. A humulene-dominant strain means a profile that is earthy, sophisticated and grounding rather than sweet-forward terps like myrcene or limonene.

The majority of cannabis strains containing humulene pair it with caryophyllene or myrcene to create a heavy entourage effect in which functional interest blends perfectly with relaxation. To American consumers, strains based on humulene are typically an evening use, stress relief, or whenever a more intentional, controlled high is desired choice.
