As the days grow shorter and the chill sets in, many of us are looking for ways to stay cozy, calm, and grounded. Cannabis can be a perfect companion, especially when you know how to shop by terpene rather than just THC. One terpene stands out as a holiday favorite: myrcene.
What Is Myrcene?
Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis, but it’s also present in mangoes, thyme, lemongrass, and hops. It’s known for its earthy, musky aroma, which evokes warmth and comfort, perfect for the cold months.
Beyond its scent, myrcene has therapeutic properties that make it a go-to choice for relaxation and seasonal wellness:
-
Calming and sedative effects ideal for winding down after a busy day or long holiday shopping trip.
-
Sleep support helps with rest, especially when daylight hours are shorter.
-
Muscle relaxation, soothing after winter activities like shoveling snow or long walks in the cold.
Why Myrcene Works for Winter and the Holidays
During colder months, our bodies naturally crave comfort, warmth, and relaxation. High-myrcene cannabis strains support that:
-
Perfect for fireside evenings or cozy indoor nights
-
Pairs beautifully with holiday meals or cocoa
-
Supports a slow, mindful cannabis experience without overwhelming effects
It’s the type of terpene that allows you to reconnect with the season while enjoying cannabis safely and intentionally.
Shopping by Effect vs THC
One of the most important lessons for holiday cannabis use is this: don’t shop by THC alone. High THC doesn’t automatically mean relaxation or comfort. Instead, look for strains rich in myrcene, which create a natural calming effect through the entourage effect of the synergy of cannabinoids and terpenes working together.
