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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Root Beer Float

Root Beer Float is a rare indica dominant hybrid strain (75% indica/25% sativa) created through crossing the classic XXX OG X Vanilla Kush strains. With this bud, the name says it all. Root Bear Float has a classic flavor that's exactly like your favorite sweet treat, although with a light touch of herb. The aroma is very earthy with a lemony pine overtone that's accented by a notable hint of pungent root beer. The Root Beer Float high settles in a few minutes after your final toke, filling your mind with a sense of hazy bliss that immediately pushes out any negative or racing thoughts. Soon after, you'll feel a delightful sense of tingly warmth wash over you in both mind and body, lulling your physical form into a deeply relaxing state that can leave you pretty aroused at times. Soon, this effect becomes slightly sedative, leaving you dozing off and on for hours on end. In combination with its high 21-26% average THC level, these effects give Root Beer Float an edge in treating conditions such as chronic pain, nausea, insomnia, depression, and appetite loss. This bud has fluffy rounded forest green nugs with rich amber hairs and frosty white trichomes throughout
