What Makes a Great Sativa Strain? Terpenes and Effects
If you’ve done any digging into cannabis, you’ve probably heard the word “terpenes” tossed around. Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis (and lots of other plants) that contribute to the flavour, smell, and — increasingly — the overall effect of a strain.
For sativa strains, certain terpenes tend to show up more often:
Limonene — citrusy, found in strains like Lemon Haze and Sour Diesel. Known for mood elevation and stress relief.
Pinene — fresh, piney. Associated with alertness and focus.
Terpinolene — floral, herbal. Often linked to energetic, uplifting effects.
When shopping for sativa strains, looking at the terpene profile can give you a better sense of what to expect beyond just the THC percentage. But honestly? If you’re browsing the selection at Pacific Grass, you really can’t go wrong with any of the sativas on offer right now.
Sativa vs. Indica: Which Is Right for You?
The sativa vs. indica debate is one of the most common questions in cannabis — and the answer really comes down to what you’re looking for. Here’s the quick version:
Choose sativa strains if you want:
Energy, focus, and motivation
A creative or social high
Something for daytime use
A mood boost without heavy sedation
Choose indica strains if you want:
Deep relaxation and stress relief
Help winding down in the evening
Something to aid with sleep
Body-centred, calming effects
Many of the most popular strains today are hybrids — blending the best of both worlds. But if you want that classic energetic, heady, let’s-do-something high, sativa strains are your answer.

Golden Monkey Extracts 240MG THC + 100MG CBD — For those who want a little THC alongside their CBD, this is a stellar 2:1 ratio option. The combination of both cannabinoids creates a rounded, pleasant effect that many find superior to CBD alone. A little goes a long way.
How to Choose the Right High CBD Strain for You
Not all high CBD strains are created equal. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you match your mood to the right product:
Method of consumption matters: Edibles and tinctures offer longer-lasting effects (4–8 hours), making them better for sustained relief or a full evening. If you want something with quicker onset and more control, tinctures dosed sublingually kick in faster than gummies.
Know your ideal CBD dose: Everyone’s endocannabinoid system is different. Start low, especially with THC-containing products, and work your way up. The Mikro Gummies line makes this especially easy with their pre-dosed format.
High CBD Strains and the Entourage Effect
One of the most compelling reasons to explore whole-plant high CBD strains and full-spectrum products rather than CBD isolate comes down to the entourage effect. This is the idea that the various cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in cannabis work better together than in isolation. When you consume a product like Golden Monkey Extracts 240MG THC + 100MG CBD, you’re getting both compounds alongside minor cannabinoids and terpenes that can shape and refine the overall experience.
That’s why many cannabis enthusiasts who thought they’d sworn off THC eventually come back to a low-dose THC + CBD combo. The CBD seems to smooth out any rough edges from the THC, resulting in a more pleasant, rounded effect overall.
