Agent Orange

Agent Orange is a sativa dominant (75% sativa and 25% indica) hybrid with high resistance to diseases and pests. Agent Orange was created by TGA Subcool Seeds and is a cross between Orange Skunk, Jack’s Cleaner, and Space Queen. A second variety of Agent Orange was created by MzJill Genetics, they combined the smooth Orange Velvet with the bold Jack the Ripper. Orange Velvet is a mild-mannered hybrid with a Dreamsicle aroma. Jack the Ripper is a flashy sativa known to provide crisp mental stimulation. This second variety is a balanced hybrid strain.

Agent Orange aroma is of freshly cut oranges and citrus herbs. It has hues of light and dark purples scattered throughout its forest-green buds and its pistils are a striking burnt orange amid the sea of deep buds. The THC levels of Agent Orange are between 16%-24%, with CBN and CBD both being around 0.2%.This strain creates an uplifting cerebral high ideal for treating depression, anxiety, and migraines. It is a great daytime strain that can be used just as one is starting their day or beginning their normal routine. Patients prone to early morning depression can benefit from using this in the morning. It can also be useful as a mild pain treatment thanks to its calming and therapeutic effects, but it isn’t recommended for treatment of chronic pain.

Personal tolerance should be taken into consideration as in higher amounts; some patients have experienced dizziness or anxiety. Red eyes and dry mouth are also common side effects and as such, one should have some eye drops and a drink at hand.

Terpene Profile

Terpenes are responsible for the aromas and scents of the different cannabis strains. They all boost the therapeutic potential of the strains by potentiating the effects of cannabinoids. Agent Orange has terpenes that produce aromas reminiscent of oranges, lemons and earthy undertones.

Alpha Humulene: 0.34%

This terpene is also present in hops and has a woody smell. It is suspected to have anti proliferative potential. This just means that it has “the ability to grow or multiply by rapidly producing new tissue, parts, cells, or offspring, a property that contributes to it being an active mechanism in fighting tumors, evidenced by its ability to produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)”.

Beta Myrcene: 0.23%

Myrcene adds to the therapeutic potential of this strain. It also has sedative, antiproliferative and anti oxidant properties. When free radicals are left to linger around the DNA of calls, they can trigger the formation of abnormal cells which eventually lead to the formation of tumors.

This terpene smells of pine trees. It is a bronchodilator and may help in relieving symptoms of asthma. It also helps in increasing memory and retention capacity.

Beta Caryophyllene: 0.16%

This terpene has a mix of peppery and spicy notes. It is the only terpene that has the ability to bind directly to cannabinoid receptors. It provides relief from pain and anxiety.

Limonene: <0.01%

Limonene has the smell of lemons and you expect to find this terpene in most citrus fruits. It is a popular mood enhancer which is ideal for reducing stress and symptoms of depression. It also offers anti fungal and anti bacterial properties.
