About
HEC is a hybrid cannabis strain. Lab samples test between 12.6% and 17.1% THC, with limonene (0.37%) as the dominant terpene.
Why does HEC have these effects?
HEC's effects are driven by its dominant limonene (0.37%), known for mood elevation and stress relief, combined with caryophyllene (0.20%), one of the few terpenes that binds directly to CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
