Pinene

BROWSE
These premium cannabis strains from Namaste are high in pinene, a terpene commonly found in pine trees, rosemary, eucalyptus and orange peel.

Alpha-pinene (or α-pinene) and beta-pinene (or β-pinene) are the two known versions of pinene. This terpene keeps a low profile, rarely taking centre stage, but still appears in some of our favourite Namaste strains.

Pinene brings more than just that pine flavour, though. Like other terpenes, scientists are researching the impact it has on how consumers feel after consuming cannabis. Some studies are focused on the way it interacts with THC to combat the short-term memory impairment that some users experience, and the impacts that it could have on anxiety and pain relief.
