Caryophyllene

A spicy, peppery terpene found in black pepper, cloves, and hops. Caryophyllene is unique among terpenes because it is the only one known to directly bind to CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, giving it potential anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic properties. It is associated with calming effects and may help reduce cannabis-induced anxiety. Often dominant in strains like GSC and OG Kush.
