Spent Brass effects are mostly calming.
Spent Brass is a modern hybrid cannabis cultivar produced by crossing Kosher Tangie. It is a photoperiod variety that requires a 70-day flowering cycle to reach maturity. Classified as moderately difficult to cultivate, this strain demonstrates versatility by performing well in both indoor and outdoor environments while consistently providing high yields for the grower.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Spent Brass is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by a dominant concentration of myrcene. This is closely followed by secondary notes of limonene, pinene, nerolidol, and caryophyllene. The full terpene spectrum continues with measurable levels of linalool, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, geraniol, humulene, camphene, and ocimene, finishing with trace amounts of terpinolene, gamma-terpinene, isopulegol, bisabolol, and alpha-terpinene. These compounds combine to create a distinct sensory profile characteristic of its lineage.
As a THC-dominant strain, Spent Brass is primarily utilized for its ability to induce states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make it an effective choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and physical pain, as well as those looking to facilitate sleep. The genetic influence of the cultivar is evident in its notable offspring, which include Boo Bear and W.M.D.
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |

| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| pinene | ~12% | pine | focus · creative |
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: 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.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
Primary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
Limonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

Seeds availableSpent Brass is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Limonene follows as the secondary terpene.
Spent Brass is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
