Jigsaw
Jigsaw is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Purple Jar. It is a plant of moderate cultivation difficulty that performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Within the cannabis breeding community, Jigsaw has established a notable genetic legacy through its use as a parent in crosses such as Jigsaw x Midnight Express and Purple Orange CBD x Jigsaw.
The complex terpene profile of Jigsaw is dominated by myrcene, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, and nerolidol. This arrangement continues through humulene, pinene, isopulegol, linalool, beta-pinene, bisabolol, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, ocimene, gamma-terpinene, eucalyptol, p-cymene, terpinolene, alpha-terpinene, and finally guaiol. This chemical composition defines the sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor profile maintained by the hierarchy of these nineteen specific compounds.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Jigsaw produces effects that are characterized by sensations of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Given these reported physiological outcomes, the strain is frequently utilized in the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Its combination of specific therapeutic potential and reliable growth traits makes it a functional selection for both cultivators and those seeking relief from these particular conditions.

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.

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.
