You’re in for a treat when you get a whiff of Snowcap. It is likely a cross of Haze mixed with Humboldt Snow, and probably originated in California. There is up to 4% CBD, which helps take a slight edge off the intoxicating high. It is a balanced hybrid on paper, with a potent THC content of 21-24%. However, this is the case with the fascinating Snowcap offering. It isn’t often where you get a cannabis strain that tastes like a breath mint. In any case, let’s check out five of the most unusual tasting marijuana strains around. Cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, could all play a role in how the herb impacts the body and mind. The truth is, the cannabis plant is incredibly complex with hundreds of compounds. We are so focused on cannabinoids, such as CBD and THC, that we are in danger of becoming blind to other things. What’s fascinating is the suggestion that terpenes have therapeutic benefits of their own. Aside from the ones we have named, linalool and humulene are also accessible and abundant. However, you will only find a fraction of them in the products on the market. There are probably over 200 terpenes in the marijuana plant. This is what happens in the wine industry, which depends on varieties such as pinot grigio and cabernet sauvignon.

The specific terpenes found in marijuana are similar to the molecules in grapevines that give wine its flavor. Better known as terpenes, these compounds are chiefly responsible for the distinct taste and smell of weed. They discovered approximately 30 molecules, called terpenes synthesis genes. Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) outlined what’s responsible for weed’s flavor. Others, like those on this list, are strange enough to warrant a closer look and taste. This means some strains never make it to the public’s attention. However, competition is extremely fierce. In theory, there is a market for practically any new marijuana strain.

Others simply don’t provide the kind of experience users seek. However, not every hybrid is a ‘success.’ Some never sell well commercially because they don’t have a pleasant taste or smell.

Breeders create hundreds of new hybrid cannabis strains every year.
