Canis Majoris is a modern hybrid strain derived from a genetic cross of i95 and StarDawg. Its exact origins and the motivations behind its breeding remain undocumented, as no official breeder account has been provided to clarify the development of this specific cultivar. Because the lineage history is thin and publicly incomplete, it is categorized as a modern hybrid without a confirmed foundational narrative.

This strain features a complex chemical profile that tends to be dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and pinene. While these specific terpenes are confirmed, users should view the potency as an estimated average, with the cultivar containing an estimated 19.5% THC. These chemical constituents contribute to the strain's sensory expression, resulting in an aroma and flavor profile that draws its nuance from this specific array of confirmed terpenes.

Canis Majoris is characterized by effects that are consistently relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a viable option for users seeking assistance with stress, pain, and sleep. The plant is moderately difficult to cultivate and performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield after a 63-day flowering period. There are currently no notable offspring recorded for this strain in the broader catalogue.
