Cannabis Flowers

Gives the cannabis flower an herb-like scent

Effective as an analgesic, sedative, anti-cancer, antibiotic ant anti-inflammatory compound.

Myrcene’s sedative properties provide a relaxing effect commonly attributed to indica-based strains.

Pure Kush

Pure Kush is a popular indica strain known for its high myrcene content. The terpene generates a strong “skunky” aroma to this product. Reputably, its effects involve a moderate head high, followed by a powerful relaxing feeling on the body.

White Widow

A household name among cannabis enthusiasts, White Widow is another strain containing a large concentration of myrcene. A hybrid with sativa-like properties, White Widow offers a more energetic experience, punctuated by euphoria and creativity.

Himalayan Gold

A myrcene-rich hybrid with roots in Northern India, the effects are known to involve a gradual relaxation that starts in the lower areas of the body and slowly creeps upward. Its relaxing properties are closer to that of an indica.

Provides a flavor and smell similar to that of pine trees

Also an effective anti-inflammatory, bronchiodialator, memory enhancer and neural stimulant (helps with alertness)

Pinene is known for its tendency to promote alertness and even fight short-term memory loss from THC intake. On its own, pinene’s effects resemble those of sativa.

Jack Herer

Jack Herer is known to be one of the most pinene-rich strains on the market. Consequently, this allows pinene’s sativa properties to truly shine. Users of this strain report an upbeat, energetic and euphoric effect.

Dutch Treat

Although a hybrid, Dutch Treat behaves like sativa – partially due to its pinene content. As a result, euphoria is its main effect, but the indica component also offers a slight hint of laziness and relaxation.

Island Sweet Skunk

While Island Sweet Skunk is a sativa strain, the pinene content is powerful enough to make it behave like an indica. Its euphoric, creative and energetic properties rival those of Jack Herer.

Provides a spicy taste comparable to black pepper

Effective as an anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, analgesic, anti-anxiety, cancer inhibitor. This terpene even reduces alcohol cravings in addicts.

B-Caryophyllene behaves like a sativa. Its uplifting, energetic properties help spark creativity and awareness. Meanwhile, it also helps stimulate appetite.

OG Kush

OG Kush may be a hybrid, but its B-Caryophyllene content definitely gives it a sativa-like effect. Users particularly like it due to its ability to relieve stress while offering a stimulating high that will not cause major sedation.

Bubba Kush

Bubba Kush is an indica strain, so it offers strong sedative effects that are not characteristic of B-Caryophyllene; however, the terpene’s effects do come through, offering a strong amount of happiness and euphoria.

Chemdawg

Known for its pungent aroma and potency, Chemdawg is a hybrid strain exhibiting mostly sativa properties with a hint of indica. Like sativa, Chemdawg generates a very uplifting, creative high that enhances mood; however, its indica nature breaks through in the form of a powerful sense of relaxation.

Creates a flowerly, citrusy or pine-like aroma

Also offers anti-cancer, antioxidant, antibacterial, sedative and antifungal benefits

Terpinolene is best known for its indica-like sedative properties.

Pineapple Jack

Pineapple Jack is a sativa strain; however, although the category is inconsistent with terpinolene, the terpene’s effects are apparent. While Pineapple Jack is mostly uplifting, the terpinolene contained within does offer a degree of relaxation and sedation.

J1

J1 (a.k.a. “Jack One”) is a hybrid exhibiting the more uplifting, energetic effects of sativa. Although it is primarily known for its effectiveness as a mood enhancer, its above average terpinolene content offers a sense of relaxation.

Lemon Sour Diesel

Lemon Diesel is a hybrid strain that owes its citrusy flavor to terpinolene. Although uplifting, it also displays relaxing effects that terpinolene is known to provide.

Citrusy flavor, most notably lemon or other sour tropical fruits. Coincidentally, the terpene’s name starts with “limon,” which is Spanish for “lemon”.

Works as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and metabolism-booster

Limonene’s high is consistent with sativa, offering a burst of energy rather than sedation.

Super Lemon Haze

Super Lemon Haze is anything but hazy. Predominantly sativa, the large amount of limonene creates a zesty, lemony flavor while offering an energetic, mood-enhancing high.

Chernobyl

While this sativa-dominant hybrid is not comparable to a nuclear disaster, it certainly hits with a bang. Users compare its flavor to a lime dessert, thanks mainly due to limonene. The terpene also provides an excellent, energetic high that stimulates conversation; however, its hybrid nature does trigger some indica-based relaxation.

Tangie

Tangie gets its name from the sativa strain’s tangerine-like aroma. As is typical of a limonene-rich plant – especially a sativa – Tangie’s main attractions are its uplifting, happiness-inducing high. Nonetheless, it does still offer some slight relaxation.

Offers a mildly spicy, lavender aroma

Shown to be effective against epilepsy. Has antibacterial, antidepressant and anti-anxiety properties. It is even being explored as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.

Linalool’s many medical benefits stem from its sedative properties. This makes it behave like an indica strain.

Amnesia Haze

Amnesia Haze is a predominantly sativa strain, exhibiting uplifting properties; however, the linalool content does offer a degree of relaxation. This is what makes it effective against anxiety (something best suited for indica), while still causing a burst of energy.

Lavender

Not to be confused with the aromatic plant, Lavender is an indica strain. Its name derives partially from its floral aroma, in addition to the purple color found on the tips of its leaves.  As expected, this flower is best known for its relaxing effects, punctuated by slightly uplifting euphoria.

LA Confidential

Another indica, LA Confidential is unique in many respects. It does an effective job at combining powerful cognitive effects with a sense of relaxation. Factor in the mild aroma and it is obvious why this strain has been so successful.

A combined aroma of pine and citrus

Fights cancer, creates sedation, kills bacteria, counters inflammation and even combats malaria

Terpineol behaves like an indica, with powerful sedative properties.

OG Kush

OG Kush is a hybrid that does an excellent job of balancing its indica and sativa origins. While offering an energetic high, its primary effects are consistent with terpineol’s sedative nature. This makes it a common choice for those looking to reduce stress.

White Widow

Although White Widow is best known for its uplifting high that promotes creativity and sparks energy, this hybrid does offer some secondary relaxing effects from terpineol.

GSC

GSC (a.k.a. “Girl Scout Cookies”) is an incredibly potent, award-winning hybrid strain. Aside from its powerful relaxing effects, users report strong euphoria mixed with an almost psychedelic experience. This strain is not for the faint of heart.

Bisabolol (or a-bisabolol) is known for its powerful floral fragrance, responsible for the strong scent in chamomile flowers and other plants.

Anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant and antibacterial terpene

Bisabolol is indica-like in its effects. Known for its relaxing properties, this terpene is often overshadowed by others in the plant, so its effects may not be as obvious.

Harle-Tsu

With a CBD level 20 times higher than its THC content, Harle-Tsu is a hybrid with very powerful relaxing effects. While it may not create the mind-clouding inebriation commonly associated with indica strains, it is nonetheless an excellent choice for those who need to relieve stress and catch up on sleep.

ACDC

While unrelated to the famous band, ACDC is still a formidable source of bisabolol. Although it is sativa-dominant and high in CBD, it still offers excellent relaxing properties and other medical benefits.

Master Kush

Although an indica strain, Master Kush breaks the rules by offering typical sedative effects of its parent plant with an uplifting, sativa-like experience.

Guaiol is known for its “earthy” flavor – a mix of wood and floral aromas.

Used for hundreds of years to fight bacteria and inflammation. Little else is known about this terpene, as scientific research is sparse.

Unlike other terpenes – which are oils – guaiol is known as a “sesquiterpenoid alcohol”. Aside from providing a unique aroma, little else is known about the substance or its recreational effects; however, regardless of the strain, relaxation appears to be a common denominator for guaiol-rich flowers, suggesting indica-based properties.

Blue Kush

Blue Kush is a sativa-dominant hybrid. Guaiol’s flavor is apparent in the earthy aroma, mixed with berry and citrus. Despite its sativa roots, Blue Kush’s primary effect is relaxation; however, this is the only indica-like characteristic.

Liberty Haze

Liberty Haze is an interesting hybrid, as its sativa and indica properties are seemingly evenly split. Like indica, it is relaxing and sedative; however, the strain also sparks energy and creativity in a distinct sativa fashion.

Chocolope

Guaiol’s flavor definitely takes center stage in Chocolope. This sativa-dominant strain has the classic earthy flavor of coffee with a hint of sweetness. It behaves mostly like its parent plant, but with a hint of indica relaxation.
