What terpinolene is

A terpene used to tell cannabis chemotypes apart, and listed mostly on sativa-labelled strains in our catalogue.

Strains listing it: 189
Average listed THC: 20.4%

Terpinolene is one of the terpenes researchers use to tell cannabis chemotypes apart; a review of cannabis terpenes names it in the profile of the Jack Herer chemotype.

In our catalogue it is unevenly spread: it is listed far more often on sativa-labelled strains than on indica-labelled ones. That describes how strains are labelled, not a demonstrated link between the compound and an effect.

We have not found a source we would stand behind on where else terpinolene occurs or how it smells, so this page does not say.

Terpinolene in our catalogue

189 published strains list terpinolene: 4 indica (2%), 68 hybrid (36%) and 117 sativa (62%), averaging 20.4% listed THC. The flavour notes they carry most often are earthy, sweet, herbal, spicy and fruity.

Questions about terpinolene

Is terpinolene a sativa terpene?

It is listed far more often on sativa-labelled strains, which is why it is described that way. That is a pattern in how products are labelled, not evidence that the compound produces sativa-associated effects.

Is terpinolene rare?

It is listed much less often than myrcene, limonene or caryophyllene.

Counts are computed from our published strain catalogue at page load. Terpene listings describe a cultivar’s reported profile rather than an assay of any particular batch. The idea that terpene content shapes the felt effects of cannabis, the “entourage effect”, remains unproven in people, and nothing here should be read as a medical claim. For adults 19+.
