Presumably, the Pine OG phenotype gets its name from the distinct pine-needle aroma. It’s so noticeable that coming across a good batch of this strain can be reminiscent of walking through a snow-capped evergreen forest. Strains with this scent tend to have a terpenoid profile high in pinene. It is an aromatic compound that can be found in high concentrations in turpentine. The terpene is considered to help improve memory as well. With that said, the Pine OG strain certainly seems to evoke these qualities when smoked. I found that my focus level improved slightly, while any stress and anxiety drifted away.
