Senegal is a modern sativa cultivar with an undocumented lineage. Despite its geographic nomenclature, it is classified as a modern variety rather than an indigenous or landrace strain. The plant requires a moderate level of expertise to cultivate, typically demanding a 91-day flowering period within an outdoor environment to produce its medium-sized yields.
The chemical profile of Senegal is defined by a terpene dominance of terpinolene, followed by ocimene, and rounded out by myrcene. This specific arrangement of terpenes dictates the strain's sensory expression, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor profile that consumers experience as a direct result of these primary, secondary, and tertiary compounds.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Senegal is primarily used to facilitate creativity, social engagement, and mental focus. Users typically report states of being creative, energetic, and uplifted following consumption. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its role as a parent in hybrids, most notably in the cross of BlackJackPie and Senegal.

●○○○
PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
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.
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.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
energetic
morningAssociated with ocimene/terpinolene profiles; stimulating without sedation; largely emergent from absence of sedating compounds rather than a direct mechanism.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Pure Sativa
Cerebral, energizing genetics. Tall plants, narrow leaves, longer flowering.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Senegal indica or sativa?
Senegal is modeled here as a pure sativa (cerebral, energizing genetics).
What terpene is dominant in Senegal?
Terpinolene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Ocimene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Senegal good for daytime use?
Senegal is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
How accurate is this data?
See the "Data confidence" card in the sidebar. Terpene profiles and effects are chemistry-informed estimates — individual responses depend on phenotype, source, and personal chemistry.
