About
Malawi is a hybrid cannabis strain, bred by ACE Seeds. Lab samples test at 25.5% THC, with myrcene (0.35%) as the dominant terpene. Spicy flavor notes dominate the flavor profile.
Why does Malawi have these effects?
Malawi's effects are driven by its dominant myrcene (0.35%), which has sedative and muscle-relaxant properties, combined with caryophyllene (0.19%), one of the few terpenes that binds directly to CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
