Pinene

Pinene is a cannabis terpene that smells exactly like its name — fresh pine forest. It is one of the most common terpenes in nature and is associated with mental clarity and bronchodilation. Pinene-forward strains (Jack Herer, Blue Dream, Dutch Treat) often feel brighter and more functional than myrcene-heavy cultivars.

Example: Jack Herer's pinene profile is what gives it that uplifting clarity.

Etymology: Named directly after pine (Pinus) trees where it occurs in tree resin.
