Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the signal that stays true to a cultivar’s genetics, which is why scientists classify cannabis by chemical profile (a “chemovar”) rather than by name (Hazekamp & Fischedick 2012). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s data comes online.

Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

Instead, it is because of the traits it inherited. No one knows who bred it, but the consensus is that it is a cross between Jack Herer and Trainwreck. These two parent strains are among the most famous in the cannabis scene for their notoriety. Fans of cannabis are familiar with the name Jack Herer. For decades, the author of “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” has actively campaigned for the legalization of marijuana. His book, to date, has consistently been cited in the effort to decriminalize the sale and use of cannabis. Because of his contribution to the community, a prominent breeder Sensi Seeds named one of their strains after the activist. Since its release to the public, Jack Herer has made a name for itself among recreational users for its clear-headed high. But more than that, it was also a valuable addition to the medical cannabis community. In fact, soon after arriving on the scene,
