Linalool and Bisabolol

These two terpenes have eluded me in that I want to experience them more head-on but I almost always find them exclusively in trace amounts, or in tertiary dominance at best. Both have soft floral aromas linked to calming flowers (lavender and chamomile respectively); both are terrific medicinal profiles for likewise producing calming, soothing, anxiolytic and even sedative effects (although myrcene is generally the king sedative on the terp wheel, this is why I want to distinguish and study these two lesser seens).
  • Linalool boils ~388°F (198°C).
  • Bisabolol boils ~307°F (153°C).

You're basically going to enjoy bisa at such low temps that some handheld vapes don't even go that low, and if you remember your combustion days, you hardly ever got to experience it. Linalool on the other hand is probably one of my favorite presences in strains that give that "floating on air to bed" pre-bedtime feeling I love so much.

The highest linalool I've experienced was Heir Heads from MUV just this last month, terpene breakdown was Caryophyllene (1.1%), Farnesene (0.72%), Limonene (0.67%), Linalool (0.63%).

Almost every other Linalool percentage I have had is 0.26-0.34%, and the most pronounced nose is probably in the Baby Turtle from Trulieve (but that's got 2% myrcene and a 1:1 of limonene to its linalool)

Still waiting for literally any linalool-dominant strain to appear on a Florida menu, even if it's in that lower range. The Heir Heads had so much going on that I couldn't pinpoint the lina's effects.

Back to bisa, I saw it at 0.21% in the Blue Mimosa down at the local AYR. It was tertiary as well but then had the Linalool right after (Caryophyllene (0.99%), Humulene (0.36%), Bisabolol (0.21%), Linalool (0.15%))

Unfortunately it seems that the curing process seems to be a very easy place to lose both of these terpenes, and in Florida, the lack of versatility amongst grow methods (plus the incomparable climate to any other cannabis market) makes it almost completely unlikely that I'll find a strain that is rich or focused on these anytime soon. But I'm still looking forward, people have told me that I'll have a greater ability to feel these terps in concentrates over flower.

What have been your experiences with Linalool and Bisabolol based strains?

Every terp wheel I've received from a local dispensary has different boiling points so I'm not too confident in that part I'll admit! In general though I just really am excited about seeing higher amounts of any terp that isn't the big CLM

I recently picked up some "Lavender Jack" and it is amazing. Smell and taste-wise, imagine Jack Herer with lavender. It's very pungent with linalool and limonene. It's the most chill offshoot of Jack Herer that I've tried.
