Linalool Effects in Weed
Terpenes work in concert with THC through what's known as the entourage effect. Linalool specifically contributes calming and anxiety-reducing qualities to the overall marijuana experience. Strains dominant in Linalool tend to produce more consistent calming effects than strains where this terpene is a minor presence.
