About Lavender

Lavender is an indica. You may also see it sold as Lavender Kush. Reviews most often mention feeling sleepy, relaxed and hungry.

THC and potency

Across 14 public lab tests of Lavender flower between 2021 and 2023, the median result was 19.2% total THC, with half of all samples falling between 18.5% and 20.7%. 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 myrcene, followed by limonene and caryophyllene. Myrcene is known for earthy, musky notes with a ripe-fruit edge, while limonene adds bright citrus-peel freshness. Total terpene content measured a median of 1.9%. On the palate, people pick out lavender, flowery and violet.

Reported effects

Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with stress, pain and insomnia. The side effects mentioned most are dry eyes, dry mouth and paranoia. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
