Pavé
Pavé is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its sole parent, The Menthol. As a direct descendant, it serves as a foundational genetic block for a wide array of subsequent crosses. The strain is cultivated over a 65-day flowering period, and growers generally classify its production difficulty as moderate. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently rewarding cultivators with high yields.
The chemical profile of Pavé is anchored by a complex terpene hierarchy, led by caryophyllene and supported by limonene, myrcene, and humulene. This arrangement rounds out with secondary and trace expressions of linalool, terpinolene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, guaiol, and ocimene. This specific composition creates a distinct sensory experience that reflects the strain's potent THC-dominant nature.
Consumers predominantly report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after use, making Pavé a versatile option for addressing stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. Its reputation as a high-quality breeding component is cemented by a extensive line of notable offspring, including Blue Pavé, Candy Pavé, Honeycomb Pavé, Kumamotoz, Lemon Cherry Pavé, Mora Azul, Park Avenue Pave, Platinum Pavé, Rainbow Guavé, Rainbow Pavé, and Zhampagne. Through these various iterations, the Pavé lineage continues to influence the modern 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.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
