Spicy strains are dominated by caryophyllene, the same terpene found in black pepper, cloves, and rosemary. The cultivars on this page consistently throw a pepper, clove, or pepper-and-pine bite that comes through in vapor and concentrate especially. Caryophyllene is the only known terpene that binds CB2 receptors, and it is the subject of ongoing research on anti-inflammatory action. Effects vary by phenotype but most spicy strains lean indica-dominant with moderate-to-heavy body effects. Read each entry for flowering and grow data.
