Catrina
Catrina is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Chemdog and Kush Mints. Information regarding its specific origin, breeder, and historical development remains undocumented, reflecting a common trend among contemporary hybrid varieties where early breeding documentation is not publicly available. This strain is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments and offers a high yield, requiring moderate expertise from growers to complete its 70-day flowering cycle.
The terpene profile of Catrina displays a structured cascade of compounds, led by caryophyllene and followed by limonene, linalool, humulene, and myrcene. The profile rounds out with bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, and terpinolene. This chemical composition defines the sensory experience of the strain, providing a complex aromatic experience rooted in this specific sequence of terpenes.
As a THC-dominant strain, Catrina delivers consistent effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic profiles make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, or aid in achieving sleep. At this time, there are no recorded notable offspring traced back to this lineage, leaving the genetic legacy of the strain focused exclusively on its own performance and individual traits.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| linalool | ~12% | floral | relaxing · solo |

●●○○
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.
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.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
