The bold, peppery scent of certain cannabis strains is a favorite among those who enjoy spicy terpene profiles. This distinct aroma comes from caryophyllene, a widely found terpene in cannabis and peppercorns. What makes caryophyllene unique is its ability to directly interact with CB2 cannabinoid receptors, similar to the way CBD functions. This means that the presence of caryophyllene in peppery weed can affect the type of high making it more uplifting and clear-headed, and less likely to cause paranoia, making it a great option for medical patients struggling with anxiety or stress. Whether you’re a recreational or medical user looking for strains that will not cause paranoia, peppery weed is worth trying.
