that smell of musk or clove (indicating the presence of myrcene) tend to cause sedative and relaxing
effects, strains with a piney scent (indicating the presence of pinene) are used to promote focus and
memory retention, and strains with a lemony scent (indicating the presence of limonene) are con-
sumed for mood uplift.

therapeutic applications commonly associated with each.

phene is a minor component of many essential oils and is used as a food additive.
