Terpene Profile

After analysis of the Jack Frost cannabis strain, high levels of Myrcene were discovered. When combined with THC, Myrcene helps to increase the effects of relaxation and sedation. Its earthy green pungency comes from Caryophyllene, Humulene, and A-Pinene.

Pinene can be seen as the terpene with the largest proportion in this strain, little wonder it is the dominant flavor and is where this strain gets its woody, piney scent.
