Relaxed. Limonene and caryophyllene may promote feelings of relaxation.

Sleepy. A popular choice for those with insomnia, Orange Kush’s high levels of THC may guarantee a good night’s sleep. 

Anxiety. Pinene, limonene, and caryophyllene may offer anxiety relief.

Pain. Terpinolene is a terpene with potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties

Depression. Terpenes like pinene and caryophyllene have the potential to boost mood, potentially improving symptoms of depression.
