The Menthol is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of White Diesel, High Octane OG, and Jet-Fuel G6. Developed for those seeking a robust genetic foundation, this strain is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a moderate level of difficulty and a high yield, with plants reaching maturation after a 63-day flowering period.
The chemical character of The Menthol is defined by its complex terpene profile, which begins with dominant concentrations of caryophyllene followed by limonene, myrcene, and humulene. This arrangement continues with secondary notes of linalool, terpinolene, beta-pinene, and bisabolol, while rounding out with trace amounts of pinene, guaiol, and ocimene. This diverse blend of terpenes dictates the profile’s aromatic and sensory experience, grounding its THC-dominant chemical structure, which tests at 17.7% THC and 0% CBD, in a distinct botanical complexity.
Consumers often report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after use, making this strain a frequent choice for managing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The genetic impact of The Menthol is significant, as it has served as a parent for a wide range of notable offspring including Kool Grapes, SVU, Enzo, Diddy Party, El Valle Haze, Fancy Vivid Intense, Fish Scale, Khalifa Mints, Mafia Funeral, OC Oranges, Pavé, and Pink Certz.

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.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
