Sesquiterpene isomer of beta-caryophyllene — earthy/hoppy aroma, abundant in hops, cannabis, sage, ginseng. Documented anti-inflammatory and appetite-suppressant effects in rodent models; co-occurs with beta-caryophyllene and is discussed in entourage-effect framing, but (unlike BCP) lacks a confirmed CB2 affinity.
