What do you mean? Here is the info I have on Caryophyllene:
Beta-caryophyllene binds to CB2 receptors, which makes it an ingredient in anti-inflammatory topicals and creams. Caryophyllene is the only terpene that binds to cannabinoid receptors. Caryophyllene is the only terpene known to interact with the body's endocannabinoid system (CB2). It produces anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Thanks to this amazing feature, it regulates pain sensations effectively and eases inflammatory processes, making it useful to treat osteoarthritis.
Moreover, its gastroprotective activity promotes healthy digestion and aids colitis. Likewise, its antiseptic, antibacterial, antiproliferative, antibiotic, and antifungal properties may enhance wound healing. Due to Caryophyllene’s anti-anxiety and antioxidant qualities, it’s also used to help with diabetes, liver fibrosis, cerebral ischemia, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer-like diseases.
That's why getting your weed tested is so important. You can find lots of terpene info online but testing your product is the only to really know what you're getting.
And, personally, I much prefer growing and taking cannabis now compared to when I was a teen. I often worried we would get caught and some of the places we bought it from were kinda shady.
Why do you think the terpenes aren't dictating the effects? If you're growing landrace sativas, it could just be the strain's phenotype, in this case sativas, that's making you feel anxious especially if you harvested early. Lots of people can't use sativas because of the anxiety/heart racing thing. I'm weird in that I suffer from anxiety but I like getting that same feeling when I'm getting high.
