Myrcene is the most common terpene in cannabis, responsible for the earthy, musky aroma found in many indica-leaning strains. It is associated with relaxation, sedation, and potential anti-inflammatory effects, but it can also cause drowsiness and interact with certain medications. At Eden Cannabis, we carry a range of lab-tested myrcene-rich products to suit both daytime and evening routines.

Materials and Specs
Our myrcene-rich products are sourced from licensed cultivators and undergo third-party testing for terpene content, cannabinoids, pesticides, and heavy metals. Myrcene levels typically range from 0.5% to over 2% in dried flower, depending on the cultivar. You can find the exact terpene profile printed on each package or listed on our online menu. For best results, store flower in an airtight container away from heat and light to preserve the terpene profile.

Does Myrcene Cause Side Effects?
Yes, myrcene can cause side effects, most commonly drowsiness, dry mouth, and low blood pressure. It may also interact with sedatives, antidepressants, and blood thinners, so consult a doctor if you take medication.
Will Myrcene Make Me Sleepy?
Myrcene is known for its sedating properties, especially when combined with THC. If you need to stay alert, choose a product with lower myrcene content or a sativa-dominant strain.
Can I Use Myrcene Topically?
Myrcene is used in some topical creams and balms for its anti-inflammatory effects. However, essential oils containing myrcene should be diluted before applying to the skin to avoid irritation.
