Like pinene and terpinolene, guaiol has a fresh pine fragrance. Indica strains typically contain more guaiol than sativas. Preliminary research has found that guaiol may induce cell apoptosis in lung tumors.

Guaiol or champacol is an organic compound, a sesquiterpenoid alcohol found in several plants, especially in the oil of guaiacum and cypress pine. It is a crystalline solid that melts at 92 °C. Guaiol is one of many terpenes found in Cannabis flowers and it has been associated with a decrease in anxiolytic activity.
