Ananaz
Ananaz is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetic crossing of Maui Waui, The Original Z, and Kush Mints. The specific history of its development remains undocumented, as there is currently no clarified record regarding its primary breeder or the precise timeline of its creation. As a modern hybrid, Ananaz represents a synthesis of these established parents, designed for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can anticipate a moderate cultivation difficulty and a high yield, with the plants completing their flowering cycle in 70 days.
The terpene profile of Ananaz is complex and extensive, starting with a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, humulene, pinene, beta-pinene, guaiol, nerolidol, terpinolene, bisabolol, ocimene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This broad range of compounds provides a nuanced sensory experience, though the exact intensities of these aromatic notes remain an estimated balance that tends to shift based on individual cultivation techniques. Consumers often find that this combination of terpenes supports the strain's overall aromatic character.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Ananaz is primarily associated with effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for individuals seeking support with stress, pain, or the facilitation of sleep. At this time, there are no recorded instances of notable offspring attributed to this strain, leaving Ananaz as a focused, singular entry in contemporary hybrid genetics.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

spicy
●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
