Terpene Index
Browse THCA strains by terpene
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that make each strain feel distinct. Two strains with the same THCA % can produce very different effects depending on their terpene profile. Pick a terpene to see strains that lead with it.

Why terpenes matter
Cannabinoids like THCA, THC, and CBD set the broad ceiling — psychoactive vs not, intoxicating vs calming. Terpenes shape how that ceiling actually feels in your body. A myrcene-heavy strain at 22% THCA can produce a deeper body feel than a limonene-heavy strain at 28%, because myrcene amplifies sedation and limonene buffers it. The same plant chemistry that makes lemons smell bright and lavender feel calming is doing real work inside cannabis flower.
Most cannabis labs report at least the major five: caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, pinene, and linalool. THCAmap pulls these from each brand's COA when published, and surfaces strain-level dominant-terpene tags so you can shop by profile rather than just potency.
