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