Find Cultivars that Have a Chemical Taste

Another flavor profile that typically appeals to those with acquired tastes, some cannabis may have a chemical-like hint to it. Chemicals can show up on the pallets of consumers in different ways, from harsh, to artificial sweeteners, and gasoline.

Just because something tastes like chemicals doesn’t mean it’s bad, as cannabis is complex, and offers a wide array of flavor profiles. For instance, the distillation of tree resin used to make turpentine doesn’t sound appetizing, but when applied to the flavors of consuming cannabis, may blend itself into a surprisingly tasty treat.

Two dominant terpenes that show up in chemical-like cultivars are pinene and humulene. Examples of cultivars that may have a chemical taste include Chemdawg, Fire OG, GG4, and Super Bud.
