Breeding, production, processing and use of specialty cannabis

A progeny plant derived from the cross of SIL08×CBD05, said progeny plant being capable of producing a female inflorescence, said inflorescence comprising:

• a) at least one BT allele, and at least one BD allele;
• b) a cannabidiol (CBD) cannabinoid content of at least 1.5% by weight;
• and
• c) a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabinoid content such that the THC:CBD content ratio is greater than 1.4;
• and
• 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;
• wherein seed of said progeny plants has been deposited under NCIMB No. 42248.

A cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof, which produces a female inflorescence, said inflorescence comprising:

• a) at least one BT allele, and at least one BD allele;
• b) cannabidiol (CBD) cannabinoid content of at least 1.5% by weight;
• c) a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabinoid content such that the THC:CBD content ratio is greater than 1.4;
• d) a terpene oil content greater than about 1.0% by weight;
• and
• e) a terpene profile in which myrcene is not the dominant terpene;
• 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;
• wherein the terpene oil content is the additive content of the terpenes in the inflorescence's terpene profile;
• wherein the terpene profile consists of terpinolene, alpha phellandrene, beta ocimene, carene, limonene, gamma terpinene, alpha pinene, alpha terpinene, beta pinene, fenchol, camphene, alpha terpineol, alpha humulene, beta caryophyllene, linalool, caryophyllene oxide, and myrcene;
• and wherein the terpene contents are measured by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and are calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence;
• wherein a representative sample of seed capable of producing said plants has been deposited under NCIMB No. 42249, and wherein cellular cultures representative of said plants are deposited under Bigelow NCMA Nos. PATENT201611001, and PATENT201609001.
