691 caryophyllene-forward strains that report a relaxed effect — ranked by Tampee.

Caryophyllene. Caryophyllene smells of cracked black pepper and warm spice, and it is chemically unusual — it is the one terpene that interacts with the body’s CB2 receptors. People often associate it with a calm, stress-softening feel rather than a heady one. When a caryophyllene-forward strain also reports a relaxed effect, the combination tends to settle into an easeful, unhurried calm.
