These strains are frequently associated with high Myrcene concentrations:
Entourage Effect
⬡Enhances THC absorption through the blood-brain barrier, amplifying sedation and pain relief
The entourage effect refers to the synergistic interaction between cannabinoids, terpenes, and other phytochemicals in the cannabis plant. Whole-plant extracts and full-spectrum products preserve this synergy; isolated distillates do not.
Vaporization Temperature
Myrcene vaporizes at 168°C (334°F). To preserve this terpene when vaping, keep your device below this temperature — most terpenes degrade and produce harsh byproducts when overheated.
