floral Cannabis Strains

what is floral cannabis?

Floral cannabis has a subtle character that often goes unappreciated. Cultivars in this category often appeal to creative people: artists, writers, and designers vibe with the head-in-the-clouds uplift that floral cannabis offers. If you’re looking for something mellower than the gassy or fruity cultivars—but without the chilled-out grounding of earthy cannabis—something in the floral family might be your new favorite.

Character profile

The terpene that drives the floral character profile is linalool, which is often found in lavender and basil, and bisabolol—a dominant terpene in chamomile. Just like its uses in aromatherapy, that lavender scent is the main driver for a relaxed, uplifting high. Floral cannabis can also have some myrcene and caryophyllene, providing a bit of earthiness and gassiness to some cultivars; however, linalool—and its soothing effects—will be in the foreground.

what’s the high like?

Floral cannabis has a reputation for calm, contemplative experiences. The floral terpenes are uplifting without being too buzzy, and calming without being sedating. This is a good choice for being creative, going for a walk, or doing housework on your day off.
