Cambodian is a pure landrace sativa with a lineage that is entirely domestic. As an indigenous variety, it has not been crossbred with outside cultivars, preserving its genetic integrity. Cultivation typically requires moderate skill.
The chemical profile of Cambodian is led by a dominant presence of terpinolene, which is supported by secondary notes of pinene and a tertiary finish of ocimene. This specific combination of terpenes dictates the strain’s sensory experience, resulting in a complex aromatic profile. The resulting scent and flavor are direct expressions of these three compounds as they manifest in this particular landrace environment.
In terms of effects, Cambodian is a THC-dominant cultivar that produces energetic, happy, and uplifted sensations. It is commonly selected for tasks requiring creativity and focus, and it is well-suited for social situations. The strain has also contributed its characteristics to the development of other varieties.

PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
⚡
energetic
morningAssociated with ocimene/terpinolene profiles; stimulating without sedation; largely emergent from absence of sedating compounds rather than a direct mechanism.
△
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
◈
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.

★★★★★AMAZING LOVE IT
28 Jun 2026Hope to findit again its not common
★★★★★hard to find, kinda pricey
1 Jun 2026Tried some Cambodian I found and it was a bit much for me. Felt super energetic and creative, but also left me a little strung out later. Plus it was like gold dust to even get it and cost a pretty penny.
★★★★★my new favorite wake and bake
28 Apr 2026This Cambodian hit different for my morning sesh. Super focused and chill for coding, no anxiety, just good vibes. Definitely keeping this in my rotation if I can find it again.

What terpene is dominant in Cambodian?
Terpinolene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Pinene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Cambodian good for daytime use?
Cambodian is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
