What Is a Cannabis Strain?
A cannabis strain refers to a specific variety of the marijuana plant, distinguished by its genetic lineage, cannabinoid content, terpene profile, and reported effects.
Strains are commonly categorized as:
- Indica
- Sativa
- Hybrid
However, modern cannabis research shows that chemical composition — particularly THC, CBD, and terpene content — plays a more important role than simple strain labels.
STRAIIN provides educational strain breakdowns to help readers understand how different cannabis varieties may vary in aroma, potency, and general effect profile.
Understanding THC, CBD & Terpenes
Every marijuana strain contains a unique chemical fingerprint.
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
Primary psychoactive compound associated with euphoric effects. - CBD (Cannabidiol)
Non-intoxicating cannabinoid studied for potential calming properties. - Terpenes
Aromatic compounds like myrcene, limonene, and pinene that influence scent and may shape the overall experience.
