What Is Nerolidol?
Nerolidol is one of the most important terpenes in exotic marijuana. It produces woody, floral, citrus aromas and is associated with sedating and anti-parasitic effects. High-Nerolidol strains are particularly valued by weed enthusiasts who seek this specific terpene profile.
Nerolidol Effects in Weed
Terpenes work in concert with THC through what's known as the entourage effect. Nerolidol specifically contributes sedating and anti-parasitic qualities to the overall marijuana experience. Strains dominant in Nerolidol tend to produce more consistent sedating effects than strains where this terpene is a minor presence.
