What does the Linalool terpene do?

Linalool is generally described as calming, the classic wind-down terpene. Terpenes work alongside cannabinoids rather than on their own, so the same terpene can read differently in two strains.

Which strains are high in Linalool?

On our menu, Lavender Bath Salts, Granddaddy Purple, Purple Punch are the closest matches by aroma profile. Every batch ships with lab testing — see our COA page.

Is Linalool only found in cannabis?
