View the original article about Linalool at Real Tested CBD.Cannabinoids give cannabis its unique effects, but they aren’t responsible for this plant’s unique scent. The aromas you pick up when you smell a batch of hemp flowers are related to compounds called “terpenes.” Although terpenes aren’t unique to the cannabis plant, they play a central role in giving each strain its flavor profile.

This floral terpene has a strong reputation for inducing relaxing effects that may make it a perfect fit for nighttime relief.Shining A Light On Linalool — What CBD Fans S...
