Nag Champa is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its sole documented parent, Pineapple Sorbet. Regarded as a versatile cultivar for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, it requires a moderate level of grower expertise to manage its development cycle. The strain is characterized by a high yield capacity and reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Its specific lineage has served as the foundation for several notable offspring, including Avatar, Citrus Delight, and Lotus Petals.
The chemical complexity of Nag Champa is defined by a comprehensive terpene profile led by myrcene, caryophyllene, and ocimene. This base is further rounded out by secondary and tertiary compounds, including pinene, humulene, limonene, linalool, beta-pinene, nerolidol, bisabolol, terpinolene, and guaiol. This intricate aromatic arrangement provides a specific sensory experience that balances floral and earthy nuances consistent with its dominant terpene structure.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Nag Champa is utilized primarily to induce feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic-leaning effects make it a frequent choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and physical pain, as well as those looking for assistance with sleep. Through its genetic contributions, the strain maintains a consistent presence in modern breeding programs, cementing its status as a reliable hybrid within the current cannabis landscape.

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.
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
