10 Myrcene Dominant Cannabis Strains

Explore a curated list of myrcene-dominant cannabis strains and the terpenes behind their signature aromas.

Myrcene, also known as β-myrcene or beta-Myrcene, is one of the most abundant terpenes found in cannabis and across the natural world. As an aromatic compound, it’s responsible for the earthy, musky, and slightly fruity notes often associated with classic cannabis profiles, along with hints of cloves, herbs, and tropical fruit.

Beyond cannabis, myrcene is found in plants like mango, hops, and lemongrass, contributing to the signature aromas of everything from beer to botanical extracts. 

In cannabis specifically, it’s one of the most prevalent terpenes across both landrace cultivars and modern hybrids, making it a foundational component of many well-known strain profiles. Because of its widespread presence, it shows up in a diverse range of genetics, from tropical, fruit-forward cultivars to heavier, gassy profiles. 

Explore ten Myrcene-dominant cannabis strains and discover the profiles behind some of today’s most popular vapes, edibles, and more!

1. Blue Dream

If we’re talking about Myrcene-dominant cannabis cultivars, it just makes sense to start with Blue Dream. This bud is the blissful combination of Blueberry and Haze, and it’s a wildly popular strain among both connoisseurs and novices.

One of the best parts? That undeniable sweet berry flavor! Myrcene contributes a slightly spicy and earthy element, making Blue Dream a fan favorite among cannabis consumers with a variety of preferences.

2. Dynasty OG

As a descendant of OG Kush, Dynasty OG is loud, gassy, and packed with dank flavor. The Loud Factor is a whopping 97% while the Gas Factor is 98%. Basically, this aroma is anything but subtle and Myrcene helps weave together potent elements of pine, citrus, and gassy earth.

Plus, the sensorial effects are beautifully balanced. The intense body relaxation has been described as “comfortably numb,” while the cerebral effects are subtly stimulating and ideal for creatives.

 

3. Outer Space

Yes, there are plenty of Myrcene-dominant cultivars with loud, in-your-face aromas, but Outer Space is a lesson in delicate balance. 

Descended from Island Sweet Skunk and Trinity, this cultivar starts with delicately soft woody notes that find harmony with light skunk elements. Subtle hints of citrus and berries add just the right amount of sweetness for a strain that’ll have you feeling energized and inspired for your next adventure. 

4. Hippie Crasher

As a cross between Kush Mints and Wedding Crasher, it’s nearly impossible to ignore the aroma of Hippie Crasher. This complex mix of dank aromatics includes sweet berries, nutty cookies, and even a hint of mint. Myrcene helps give this funky cultivar an important dose of sweetness and unexpected mint.

While the body relaxation is intense and tingly, it also comes with a euphoric lift that will leave you feeling creative and social. At least, that’s how you’ll feel until the couch lock fully takes over. And trust us, it will.

5. Couch Kush

Speaking of couch lock, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include Couch Kush. As a cross between potent Gorilla Glue #4 and an F2 Alien Kush, this strain is the perfect remedy for productivity burnout.

Those gassy OG notes are satisfyingly pungent, while notes of dark berries add a sweetness that’s perfect for afternoons spent doing nothing. It’s comfortably dank, peaceful, and we highly recommend this Myrcene-dominant strain the next time you need to kick back and relax.

 

6. Purple Martian

While the name is certainly out of this world, Purple Martian is another strain that will have you happily enjoying the comfort of your own home. Admittedly, this three way cross between Purple Kush, Blackberry Kush, and Martian Mean Green has a seriously extraterrestrial aroma.

This strain has a rich base of herbs and earth combined with euphoric levels of juicy grape and delicate crisp apple. So, your body may be on the couch, but your senses may just traverse the galaxy.

 

7. Papaya Peach

Descended from Papaya and a cross of Granola Funk and Peach Oz, Papaya Peach turns up the stone fruit with a satisfying layer of juicy citrus. While Myrcene is a dominant terpene here, tropicannasulfur compounds like 3-mercaptohexyl acetate (3MHA) drive its obvious tropical aroma.

Honestly, you’ll have to try this loud, fuel-forward combo of stone fruit, tangerine, mandarine, and dank earthy wood to understand just how luscious Papaya Peach really is.

 

8. Cambodian Haze

As a cross between Purple Haze and a Cambodian landrace strain, Cambodian Haze delivers that iconic hit of citrus and herbal spice plus something extra. We’re talking about a transcendent combination of euphoric pine and sweet berries that’s loud, beautifully balanced, and will give you an unexpected dose of enlightenment.

While many hazy strains are dominant in terpinolene, the Myrcene-dominant strain profile of Cambodian Haze is unique. Fear not, though. For those always on the hunt for haze strains with classic piney, woody, citrus aromas and stimulating effects, Cambodian Haze still delivers.

9. Skywalker OG

Also known as Skywalker OG Kush, this cultivar perfectly combines its inherited genetic qualities. Descended from Mazar and Blueberry OG, this Myrcene-dominant strain has a dank aroma that can be heard across the galaxy.

Gassy top notes help Skywalker OG maintain the balance between its light floral herbs and dark OG elements. Just be prepared for the effects that will sink you into the couch faster than Anakin turned to the dark side.

10. Gumball

Also known as Gum Ball or Gumball Drop, this strain has an unconventional aroma that will shock, delight, and ultimately keep you coming back for more. Plus, as a cross between Bubblegum and Fireball, Gumball is part of an exotic Gas Category known as Candy Gas.

Basically, these cultivars are SWEET with fruit-forward top notes and a gassy underbelly that gives a much needed complexity to those “candy” elements. In this case, we’re talking about an uncanny combo of chewy pink candy and dank earthy gas.
