Animal Mints is a modern indica variety derived from its parent, SinMint Cookies. This strain is a component of the modern era of selective breeding, where its genetic stability and reliable traits have made it a foundational component for breeders across various environments. Cultivators will find this strain easy to grow, consistently producing a medium yield within a 56-day flowering period, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation setups.
The terpene profile of Animal Mints is defined by a primary dominance of caryophyllene, followed by limonene, linalool, humulene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, myrcene, pinene, and terpinolene. These compounds collectively shape the sensory experience, offering a nuanced aromatic and flavor complex that reflects its terpene concentration.
Animal Mints is a THC-dominant strain that provides users with effects described as relaxed and focused. It is frequently utilized for its efficacy in addressing pain, stress, and sleep concerns. The strain has served as a significant progenitor for a broad range of modern cannabis genetics, including notable offspring such as Animal Face, Animal Mints Bx1, Banana Fumes, Blue Face, Bundy, Cherry Amaretto, Jive Turkey, Lemon Orange sLime, Mon Cherry, Og Sic, Tiger's Mint Jealousy, and Triangle Mints.

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.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
