The Short Answer
What kind of high is Pie of the Tiger?
Myrcene-led and sweet-cherry on the palate, most often reported relaxed and picked for watching tv/movies.
Terpenes decide how a strain feels — THC% only decides how strong the dose is. Here is the family, the chemistry behind it, and what people reach for it to do.
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that shape the character of a high. The blend a strain carries — not its THC percentage — is what makes one feel bright and social and another heavy and sleepy, which is why the top three are listed rather than just the leader.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

- Caryophyllene Spicy, peppery, woody

The Experience
Professor High Says...
In-depth strain breakdown from Professor High, our AI cannabis expert
The moment this hits, I get a wave of sweet cherry and diesel rolling across my palate — that Motorbreath backbone is unmistakable. Within minutes, a gentle euphoric lift washes over my head, uplifting without racing, thanks to that limonene brightness cutting through the myrcene haze. My shoulders drop first — that's the body relaxation setting in — but my mind stays surprisingly present, even a little creative, like I could sketch an idea or riff on a thought before it drifts. As the session stretches on, hunger creeps in (that pie name isn't lying), and a pleasant heaviness settles into my limbs. It's the kind of high that lets you function through the happy fog, then gently tips you toward sleepy comfort if you let it. Balanced is the right word — this isn't a strain that fights itself.

Cannabinoids (THC & CBD)

THC% tells you how strong. Terpenes tell you how it feels.
THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.
Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.
