What Is Myrcene?

Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis, and the one most associated with relaxing, soothing effects. It’s known for its earthy, herbal, and slightly fruity aroma, often compared to cloves, fresh herbs, and ripe mango.

Myrcene is found in many well-loved strains that promote calmness, ease, and gentle body relaxation. Whether used for unwinding after a long day or supporting a more grounded mindset, Myrcene plays a big role in shaping the “feel” of many indica-leaning strains—though it appears in hybrids and sativas too.
