Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
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, 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.

About Pinnacle
Pinnacle is a powerful Indica-dominant hybrid born from the flavorful fusion of Slurty #3 x Gush Mints. Designed for deep evening relaxation, this strain delivers a heavy-hitting yet balanced experience that makes it ideal for nighttime use or when you have no obligations ahead. With THC levels ranging from 26.43% to 30.40%, Pinnacle offers an intense and long-lasting high suited for experienced consumers seeking potency and depth. The effects begin with a lifted, euphoric buzz that gently elevates the mind without creating excess stimulation. Creativity and a blissful sense of ease often follow, before the high gradually transitions into full-body relaxation. As the experience deepens, muscles unwind and tension fades, leaving you calm, content, and comfortably settled. The terpene profile—β-Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Linalool—plays a key role in shaping Pinnacle’s character. Limonene contributes to the uplifting, mood-enhancing onset, while Caryophyllene and Linalool work together to promote stress relief and soothing body effects. Many consumers report that this variety may help ease symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, headaches, and low mood. Flavor is where Pinnacle tr
