Although it can be present in many strains, Ocimene dominant cannabis strains of are rare.
Ocimene has been identified as uplifting. (S. Casano, G. Grassi, V. Martini, and M. Michelozzi, 2011)
and I would agree, If I do see it present in strains they are strains that are labeled as hybrid of sativa
There isn’t much data on ocimene, but some of the medical benefits we know so far are
o Its an Anticonvulsant
o Its an Anti-inflammatory
 In a 2013 study published in the Food and Chemical Toxicology journal, researchers noted anti-inflammatory activities in the oil-containing Ocimene, Oenanthe crocata. The study also revealed effective against ringworms and is recommended as a treatment to manage other inflammatory diseases.

o It has Anti-tumoral properties
o It’s a potent Anti-Oxidant.
o This terp can act as a Decongestant
o It has Antifungal properties
 A 2015 study published in The Journal of Natural Medicines published a study reviewed Ocimene as part of a blend against molds and yeasts. The study showed that Ocimene's combination with other elements is a promising anti-fungal agent against dermatophytosis, a skin fungus commonly referred to as a ringworm. (Cavaleiro C; Salgueiro L; Gonçalves MJ; Hrimpeng K; Pinto J; Pinto E;)
o It even has anti-viral properties
 A 2008 study published in the journal Chemistry and Biodiversity indicated that an ocimene and pinene rich oil (L. nobilis oil) "exerted an interesting activity against SARS-CoV," a severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a coronavirus and against the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). These findings are impressive and promising in light of the current pandemic, yet further clinical research studies are still needed.
