The Short Answer
What kind of high is White Bastard?
Myrcene-led and sweet-berry on the palate, most often reported relaxed and picked for stress relief.
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.

Cannabinoids (THC & CBD)
THC 15.5-18.1% · Type I chemovar
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.

Detailed Description
The long-form profile · ~2 min read
Meet White Bastard
White Bastard is a 70% indica / 30% sativa hybrid built on a genetic pairing that cannabis breeders have leaned on for decades to produce dense, flavorful, body-forward flowers. With THC levels ranging from 15.5% to 18.1% and a CBD range that can climb as high as 3.81%, this is classified as a Type II chemovar — meaning it carries a meaningful cannabinoid balance rather than being THC-only, which can soften the psychoactive edge while still delivering a noticeable high.
🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage
White Bastard is the offspring of two legendary genetics: DJ Short Blueberry and God Bud. Blueberry contributes its signature fruit-forward terpene character and mellow, long-lasting body effects, while God Bud brings dense structure and a euphoric, uplifting mental layer. The result is a hybrid that leans indica in body but doesn't skimp on head-space engagement.
👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics
The terpene profile is led by Myrcene (0.41%), the terpene most associated with sedating, body-heavy relaxation — it's the reason White Bastard settles into your muscles rather than just your head. Close behind is Pinene (0.32%), which sharpens focus and offsets heaviness with a clear-headed alertness, followed by Ocimene (0.23%) adding a sweet, herbaceous lift, and trace Carene (0.05%). Caryophyllene and Linalool round out the profile in smaller, unquantified amounts, contributing peppery depth and a calming floral undertone respectively. Together these terpenes (totaling roughly 1.01% of measured content) create an aroma that's:
- Skunky — the bold, pungent top note
- Pine — sharp and resinous, courtesy of pinene
- Berry — a sweet nod to its Blueberry parent
- Earthy and woody — grounding base notes
- Sweet and floral — soft accents that keep the nose interested
- Citrus — a brighter twist reported by some growers
👅 Flavor Experience
On the inhale, expect a sweet berry and blueberry rush that echoes the aroma, quickly joined by pine and earthy woodiness. Some phenotypes lean into a diesel edge on the exhale, while others finish softer with herbal and citrus notes. It's a layered flavor journey — fruity up front, earthy and resinous by the finish.
🎯 Effects & Experience
Users consistently report a core effect set of relaxed, euphoric, uplifted, happy, creative, focused, giggly, and hungry. The high tends to open with a gentle euphoric lift and mental clarity — thanks to the pinene — before settling into the myrcene-driven body relaxation. Creativity and giggliness often surface in the middle stretch, making it a social, easygoing high rather than a couch-locking one, though appetite stimulation (
