With each New Year comes resolutions and promises—deals we make with ourselves. If you seek a resolution for 2022, why not look to cannabis terpenes for inspiration? These organic compounds grant cannabis its varied flavors and tastes. Not only that, but they may have psychoactive and wellness effects of their own, leaving a footprint on how a strain makes you feel. In this post, we’ll check out our list of terps and the highest terpene-infused strains to try in 2022.

Energizing and Uplifting Terpenes

Some terpenes appear to have the ability to boost energy, focus, and concentration. Here are a few of the big ones.

Limonene

One of the most common cannabis terpenes, limonene, kicks off our list. As you may have inferred from its name, this terp has an exceptionally citrusy flavor and aroma. That’s not limonene’s only trait, though. It may also have some beneficial properties.

According to researchers, limonene appears to increase alertness and wakefulness. If you find yourself dozing off, a dose of limonene may be just what the doctor ordered. You can find it in any citrus-forward strain, such as WiFi OG.

Humulene

You can find this funky, pungent terpene in several plants worldwide. If you’re a fan of hops, you’ve likely encountered humulene’s earthy and herbal scent and flavor before. 

While Humulene’s reputation may emphasize its aromatic properties, those aren’t this cannabis terpene’s only traits. Notably, it appears as one of the active compounds in ginseng. Some research suggests that humulene may be responsible for the energizing “zing” typical of ginseng, and could also boost focus. If you’re looking for strains high in Humulene, don’t pass on Gorilla Glue #4.

Soothing and Relaxing Cannabis Terpenes 

While some terpenes are energizing, others demonstrate cozier effects. Below, we’ll list some of the terpenes with a more sedative and relaxing profile.

Myrcene

One of the most common cannabis terpenes, you can find Myrcene in a bevy of strains. Kush strains, such as Kashmir Kush, are usually chock full of Myrcene. Myrcene has a distinctly tropical vibe. It also appears in mangos, giving them their  delicious combination of sweet and pungent flavors.

This terpene may also be particularly adept at helping you chill out. Some studies have shown that Myrcene could be able to relax muscles and help improve sleep. 

Linalool

Here’s another terpene with a soothing fragrance that can lull you into relaxation. You can find Linalool in strains like Do Si Dos, contributing its funky, flowery scent. Some research suggests that linalool may have sedative effects. As a result, cannabis strains with this terp could help calm stress and improve sleep quality.

This terpene appears in several non-cannabis sources. Lavender, along with some herbs such as oregano, feature Linalool prominently.

More Than Just Strains: Highest Terpene-Infused Products

So far, we’ve mentioned a few different strains that exhibit specific terpenes. You can also find terpenes in more than just flower! For example, you can also find extracts such as BHO, Rosin, and others with high-terpene concentrations.
