TERPENE: CARYOPHYLLENE – NORTHERN LIGHTS
Northern Lights is one of the most popular cannabis strains of all time, and that may be partially because of its rich terpene profile. It offers high levels of several terpenes, and caryophyllene may be the most interesting. Caryophyllene is normally found in plants and herbs with a peppery scent. Cloves, cinnamon, hops, basil, oregano, rosemary, lavender, and black pepper all share it in common. It’s been associated with anti-inflammatory properties
TERPENE: MYRCENE – BLUE DREAM
Blue Dream is especially rich in the balmy, peppery myrcene, which is also found in lemongrass, mango, cardamom, and hops. It’s used in fragrance substances like menthol and citronellol. It’s also synergistic with the effects of cannabis and allows more THC to pass through the blood-brain barrier. Observed qualities include anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.
myrcene has health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties, pain relief, and a sedative effect on the system
TERPENE: LIMONENE – SOUR DIESEL
Sour Diesel contains some myrcene and caryophyllene, and it adds a good amount of limonene to the mix as well. Commonly found in citrus fruit peels, limonene is in products like orange oil, and has been used as a dietary supplement as well as a fragrance. Cannabis enthusiasts look to limonene for mood therapy, sweet citrus flavor, and improved cannabinoid absorption.
Limonene
Limonene is an aromatic cannabis terpene produced in the flower’s resin glands. When isolated, it’s commonly associated with fruity, citrus aromas, and it’s found in many common items like fruit rinds, cosmetics, and cleaning products.
Some strains exhibit higher levels of limonene than others, this depends on genetics, growing techniques, and curing processes. Popular limonene-dominant strains include Banana OG, Purple Hindu Kush, and Tahoe OG.
So far, limonene has shown potential in elevating mood, stress relief, antifungal properties, and antibacterial properties.
TERPENE: PINENE – JACK HERER + OTHER PINEAPPLE STRAINS
The most obvious benefit of this specific terpene is the sweet tropical fruit aroma. Also found in pine needles and dill, it’s associated with anti-inflammatory effects and enhanced concentration. Consumers love to use pinene when they want to stay alert and avoid short-term memory loss.
Alpha-Pinene and Beta-Pinene
Alpha-pinene and beta-pinene are simply two variations of pinene. Pinene is an aromatic compound commonly found in cannabis that smells a lot like a forest of pine trees. You can find traces of Pinene in pine needles, rosemary, and basil.
The surplus of any given terpene is highly dependent on a variety of environmental factors; some strains tend to produce elevated levels of pinene on average. These strains include God’s Gift, Cotton Candy Kush, Big Smooth, and Cannatoic.
Pinene is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, pain relief, and bronchodilator properties.
Linalool
Linalool is a highly favored terpene found in over 200+ plants including lavender and basil.
Few cannabis strains contain high levels of linalool. Strains rich in linalool impart effects associated with Indica-dominant genetics, which include both mental and physical relaxation. These stains include Zkittles, Do-si-do, and Wedding Mints.
Linalool is known for its antimicrobial and sedative properties. Linalool is also known to help aid with anxiety and depression.
SOME OF THE STRAINS WE HAVE IN STORE... AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING CREATIONS NATURAL HERBAL BLEND, X HERBAL SMOKING MIX, VAPE OIL, CB2 HEMP OIL IN 10ML SAMPLER TUBE AND 20ML DROPPER BOTTLE AVAILABLE
BLUE DREAM
If you’ve chosen Blue Dream, you’re not alone - this Sativa-dominant hybrid is one of the most popular strains on the market right now. It all began when an American breeder named DJ Short developed his Blueberry Indica strain in the 1970s. As this strain spread across California, it was eventually crossed with Haze Sativa to form a unique concoction that strikes that perfect aromatic balance between sugary sweet blueberries and spicy herbal notes. Users describe Blue Dreams’ effects as an immediate bracing cerebral head rush followed by a relaxing physical high.
GORILLA GLUE
Get ready to try one of the most potent strains on the market.
Gorilla Glue #4 was developed by accident by GG Strains-founder, Joesy Whales, when a unique hermaphroditic strain of his Chem’s Sister plants pollinated his Sour Dubble (aka Sour Dubb) plant. The resultant cross-breed was so striking that Whales began to experiment, eventually adding Chocolate Diesel to the mix to produce the Gorilla Glue #4 that aficionados around the world know and love.
As the names of its genetic parents suggest, Gorilla Glue terpenes are based on a hybrid that has a strong, pungent aroma redolent of diesel, chocolate, and even coffee. Some users report woodsy, earthy, notes - the smell of the forest. On the tongue, gorilla glue terpenes are sweet, yet earthy.
Gorilla Glue 4’s terpene profile is heavy in Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene.
GREEN CRACK
Sometimes the right celebrity endorsement can make all the difference. Originally known as “Cush”, this Sativa exploded in popularity after it was re-dubbed “Green Crack” by none other than the OG West Coast cannabis connoisseur himself, Snoop Dogg. And he did so with good reason - Green Crack is just what the doctor ordered if you’re looking for an electrifying rush that will keep you focused and alert on the task at hand. It’s no surprise then that this strain has become a go-to for people with ADD/ADHD. Accompanying these effects is a pleasant tropical aroma and citrus flavor redolent of mango that will make it your favorite daytime medication.
NORTHERN LIGHTS
Prepare to partake in another legendary strain with our Northern Lights food-grade terpene profile. Northern Lights stands as one of the purest Indicas on the market and has the distinction of winning the most cannabis awards of any strain in the world. Northern Lights went on to be the parent to many other well-known strains, like Shiva Skunk and the multiple award-winning Super Silver Haze.
Created in Seattle, Washington, then bred to perfection by Sensi Seeds in Holland, this strain is known for its pungently sweet, spicy flavor profile and aroma. You'll also notice lemon citrus notes and a piney feel to the aftertaste.
Its parentage is a unique cross of Afghani and Thai landrace strains, providing users with heavy relaxing and euphoric effects that will leave you with a haze of positive vibes. Medical marijuana patients report Northern Lights may relieve symptoms associated with stress, pain, depression, or insomnia.
Northern Lights' terpene profile includes alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, beta-caryophyllene, camphene, d-linalool, and lemon oil terpenes.
OG KUSH
The OG Kush Terpenes profile is the genetic backbone of the entire West Coast cannabis scene. Despite being so influential, its exact parentage and lineage remains a mystery. Some claim that it is the offspring of Chemdawg and Hindu Kush, while others believe that it’s actually a distinct phenotype of some other existing strain. Even the name is disputed: “OG” is said to stand for “Old Gangster” in reference to its status as a fundamental part of the cannabis world. Alternately, it could also stand for “Ocean Grown” given that it was mainly cultivated along the California coast. The list of phenotypes derived from OG Kush is too long to list here, but some of the most well known include SFV OG, Ghost OG, Diablo OG, and Tahoe OG. Look to OG Kush for its piney, lemon notes with woody undertones and its strong euphoric effects that make it a perfect stress-reduce
SOUR DIESEL
A classic - pure and simple. That’s the easiest way to describe this Sativa is that will get your creative juices flowing and leave you with an intense headslam unlike any other strain. Legend has it that the original Diesel seeds were bought at a 1991 Grateful Dead concert in Colorado before being refined by East Coast growers. Along the way, it combined with other zesty strains like Chewdawg and Super Skunk to form Sour Diesel which skyrocketed in popularity in the early 90s. As its name suggests, Sour Diesel's terpene profile has a skunky citrusy aroma and a matching taste redolent of lime and fuel.
TRAIN WRECK
Not for the faint of heart, Trainwreck delivers on its promise of a heavy-hitting sativa strain that is a pure head rush from start to finish. Trainwreck was perfected in the fields of Humboldt County in Northern California, and the strain is a potent combination of Mexican and Thai sativas, crossed with Afghani Indicas. We’ve recreated the smell and taste of trainwreck’s terpene strain profile with food-grade, naturally-derived terpenes. You’ll welcome the floral, botanical aroma derived from natural terpenes: limonene, terpinolene, beta-pinene, and alpha-pinene. On the tongue expect a sweet lemon, pine, and menthol flavor.
Trainwreck is a strain that will give you an overwhelming sensation of euphoria along with greater creativity. Look to this strain for a fast and furious experience that will still let you get on with your day.
