Strain Data Project
Explore Cannabis Through Terpenes
The cannabis market is flush with choices from countless brands making product selection an overwhelming experience. However, research from The Strain Data Project™ (SDP) has shown that while each cannabis product has unique qualities, they can be grouped into six distinct categories based on the strain’s chemical composition. SDP developed a proprietary method which identified these categories based on the chemical profiles of strains, primarily defined by the dominant terpene or terpene combination. To make these insights as approachable as possible, each category is represented by a unique color and standardized Strain Compass™. The compass visually represents each category on a radar chart. Discovering your favorite color may help guide you to the products you’ll love most—it’s that simple.
