In conclusion, Pinene is a fascinating terpene found in high concentrations in certain strains of cannabis. Its potential benefits range from anti-inflammatory, bronchodilator, and local antiseptic properties, to cognitive enhancement and reducing anxiety. For people who suffer from respiratory conditions, cognitive impairment, or anxiety, this terpene may provide some therapeutic benefits, and for those who appreciate its unique aroma, it could be a desirable trait in certain cannabis strains.
