About Guava

Guava is a sativa variety. The effects people mention most are feeling uplifted, hungry and energetic.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 69 flower samples tested between 2020 and 2024 came in at a median of 23.5% total THC (the middle half ranged from 22% to 25.8%). CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That is in line with most flower on Canadian shelves. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.

Aroma, flavour and terpenes

In lab tests its dominant terpene is limonene, followed by caryophyllene and humulene. Limonene is known for bright citrus-peel freshness, while caryophyllene adds black pepper and warm spice. Total terpene content measured a median of 2.4%. Consumers most often describe the flavour as tropical, pepper and tree fruit.

Reported effects

Beyond feeling uplifted, reviewers also mention feeling happy and sleepy. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with anxiety, stress and depression. The side effects mentioned most are anxiety and dry mouth. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
