THC 18% | CBD 0% DOMINANT TERPENE: Caryophyllene Jealousy strain helps with: ANXIETY
35
DECEMBER 2023
This is a newer strain on the list and has acquired quite a lot of traction since being named Leafy strain of the year in 2022. This well balanced hybrid strain was made by crossing Sherbert Bx1 with Gelato 41. Jealousy is commonly tested higher than 20% THC, which means it might be better for experienced cannabis users. For recreational users, people who have smoked it say they feel mentally relaxed and physically energized. Medical users have reported that they used this strain for mental and physical stress. According to Leafly, “the dominant terpene of this strain is caryophyllene, which is often associated with a fuel aroma. There's also limonene and myrcene and sometimes linalool and humulene.” If this sounds like a strain for you, be ready for an earthy taste!
