The Highest Terpene Strains In Canada
The one-product shopping experience of the past was far from perfect. You would show up at your plugs place and he would present the goods. If it smelled good, it probably smoked good, too.
Legalization has brought about a THC rush, and some brands are now pushing THC levels up to 30%. This has led to the focus shifting to the best THC-containing products.
When it comes to flavor, terpenes are where it’s at. These essential oils in cannabis strains create the plant’s diverse array of flavors and scents. There are over 100 terpenes in cannabis alone.
Here are some of the most prominent terpene-rich strains available in Canada right now.
What Is Cannabis?
Cannabis is a plant species in the family Cannabaceae. It includes three primary subspecies: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Cannabis has been used for a variety of purposes, including for its medicinal and recreational effects. It is also known for its psychoactive compounds, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).
What Is THC?
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It is responsible for the “high” commonly associated with cannabis use. THC acts on the cannabinoid receptors in the brain, which are involved in the regulation of mood, appetite, and other cognitive functions. The amount of THC in cannabis varies depending on the strain, with some strains having higher levels of THC than others.
What Is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. CBD is one of many compounds, known as cannabinoids, that are found in the cannabis plant. Unlike the more well-known compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” commonly associated with cannabis use.
CBD has become increasingly popular in recent years as a natural remedy for a variety of health conditions, including anxiety, pain, and insomnia. It is also used to manage symptoms of conditions such as multiple sclerosis and help with epilepsy. CBD is available in a variety of forms, including oils, capsules, and topical creams.
Mule Fuel
Our high-quality cannabis is packed with three and a quarter percent terpenes and is licensed by Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp., making it some of the most potent THC products on the market.
Sugarbud is proud to offer Mule Fuel, a blend of GMO and Lurch terpenes that delivers a powerful earthy note. Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in cannabis, and it leads the charge here with a strong, earthy flavor. Supporting terpenes include caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene, which add touches of sweet floral and citrus flavors.
With Mule Fuel’s high terpene levels, you’re getting the best possible experience. The current batch has a terpene level of 3.16%, but the brand has put out batches as high as 4.5%. You can find Mule Fuel in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario in 3.5g flower format, and in 3 x 0.5g pre-roll format in Alberta and Ontario.
White Runtz
The Rubicon Organics terpene blend has a high THC content and is 190-280 mg/g.
The White Runtz organic hybrid is a cross between the Zkittlez and Gelato cultivars, resulting in a strain with a sweet, vanilla and citrus nose, with hints of pepper and herbs on the palate. All White Runtz batches have been above 2.4% terpene, and the last three have even reached 3.75%.
Simply Bare tracks the organic terpenes in its products, and this latest batch of White Runtz has the highest terpene content of any cultivar. Out of the total of 4.49% terpenes, 1.7% is limonene, 0.47% is trans-caryophyllene, 0.43% is linalool, and 0.3% is beta-myrcene.
Terpenes can affect how your cannabis will smell and taste, and can have different effects on how you feel. For example, if you want a more uplifting experience, try strains with more energetic terpenes like pinene, on the sativa/hybrid side of the dispensary. Or if you want to relax and chill out, choose strains with more terpenes like myrcene, linalool, and beta-caryophyllene.
