- a) a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content that is at least 3%;
- b) a cannabidiol (CBD) content that is at least 3%;
- c) a terpene profile in which myrcene is not the dominant terpene;
- and
- d) a terpene oil content greater than about 1%;
- wherein the contents of THC and CBD comprise acidic and decarboxylated cannabinoids as measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence;
