Iguana
Iguana is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from a genetic crossing of Blueberry and Nepal-Indica. Its history and specific breeding origin remain undocumented, with no centralized record confirming the individual or organization responsible for its initial development. As a modern hybrid, it does not hold status as a landrace or heirloom variety, but rather functions as a contemporary cross that draws upon its diverse parentage to define its growth characteristics and chemical composition.
The sensory profile of Iguana is defined by an extensive terpene hierarchy, led by myrcene as the primary constituent. This dominant profile is followed by limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, and ocimene, with beta-pinene, nerolidol, bisabolol, and humulene serving as the tertiary components. In cultivation, the plant maintains a moderate difficulty level and reaches maturity with a 65-day flowering cycle. It is highly versatile, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments while offering a high yield potential to the cultivator.
Iguana is a THC-dominant strain that primarily serves to promote feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. Its therapeutic profile makes it an appropriate choice for users seeking support for stress and pain management, as well as assistance with sleep. To date, there are no recorded instances of notable offspring stemming from this specific genetic line.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.

| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| caryophyllene | ~12% | spicy | relaxing · social |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

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.
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
