Welcome to Tia’s Terps! In this first breakdown, T introduces you to the ‘Chemical Anchor’ of the plant world: **Myrcene** (C10H16).

Myrcene is a monoterpene and the smallest, most common aromatic building block—a heavy base pair in the DNA of plant scent. It’s the molecule responsible for the deep relaxation and notorious **couch lock effect**!

In this video, you’ll learn:
🌿 What plants contain Myrcene, like **hops**, **mangoes**, and **thyme**
🌡️ Myrcene’s low **boiling point** (168°C) and why it’s key to its fast effect
🔑 The **Amplification Protocol**: how Myrcene acts as a vascular dilation agent and ‘VIP door’ to the high.
🧠 Why you should **stop chasing strain names** and start chasing the chemistry!

**New to Terpenes?**
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in plants that give them their unique scent and flavor. In cannabis, they work synergistically with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to influence the overall effect—a phenomenon called the Entourage Effect.
