Myrcene

C₁₀H₁₆

Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in modern cannabis cultivars, often comprising over 20% of the total terpene profile. It is believed to enhance cannabinoid absorption across the blood-brain barrier, contributing to the "couch-lock" effect associated with indica-dominant strains.
