Shanine
Shanine is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived from the 9lb Hammer lineage. Developed for those seeking a balanced genetic profile, it is well-suited for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant requires a moderate level of expertise from growers and offers a high yield, achieving maturity after a 60-day flowering period. Its genetic influence has extended to the next generation, as it serves as the parent of the notable offspring known as Plomo.
The chemical profile of Shanine is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, led by a dominant limonene concentration. This primary profile is supported by caryophyllene and myrcene, followed by secondary and tertiary notes of nerolidol, humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, pinene, camphene, isopulegol, bisabolol, and terpinolene. This specific blend of compounds creates a distinct aromatic and flavor experience characterized by the interplay of these twelve identifiable terpenes.
As a THC-dominant variety, Shanine is primarily utilized by users to elicit effects described as creative, uplifted, and euphoric. The strain is an effective choice for scenarios requiring heightened focus, social engagement, or the stimulation of artistic creativity. Its predictable behavioral traits and specific cannabinoid profile make it a reliable selection for those aiming to experience a clear, high-functioning sativa-leaning hybrid experience.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| limonene | ~60% | citrus | social · creative |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| myrcene | ~12% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
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: 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.
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.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
