WSDB Chemovar Map

The Weedstraindb Chemovar Map

Cannabis is not truly defined by strain names, marketing terms, or labels. What matters most is chemistry — and chemistry follows recognizable patterns.

Understanding Cannabis Through Chemovars

A chemovar (chemical variety) describes the unique chemical makeup of a cannabis plant. This includes cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, along with terpenes — aromatic compounds that strongly influence how cannabis may feel.

While strain names are useful for identification, they do not reliably explain how a product will affect the body or mind. The same strain name can be grown by different cultivators, in different environments, and harvested at different times — all of which can significantly change its chemical expression.

This is why two products with identical names may produce very different experiences. The name stayed the same, but the chemistry did not.

Weedstraindb organizes cannabis by chemical direction — focusing on what the plant expresses, not what it is marketed as.

The Five Chemovar Orbits

Within the WSDB Universe, chemovars are grouped into five primary “orbits.” These orbits describe the dominant terpene influence and the general direction that profile tends to pull the experience.

🟣 Body Orbit Dominant terpene: Myrcene
Supporting: Linalool, Nerolidol

Body Orbit profiles are commonly associated with physical relaxation, muscle ease, and a heavier or more grounded body sensation.

🟢 Mind Orbit Dominant terpene: Limonene
Supporting: Pinene, Terpinolene

Mind Orbit profiles are frequently linked to elevated mood, mental alertness, and increased engagement.

🔵 Balance Orbit Dominant terpene: Caryophyllene
Supporting: Humulene, low Myrcene

Balance Orbit profiles are commonly associated with emotional steadiness and a centered experience.

🟡 Spark Orbit Dominant terpene: Terpinolene
Supporting: Pinene, Ocimene

Spark Orbit profiles are often described as bright, energetic, and mentally active.

⚫ Deep Space Orbit Multiple terpenes with no single leader

Deep Space profiles contain complex terpene combinations that may feel layered or evolving.

Terpene Constellations

Terpenes rarely act alone. Instead, they appear together in repeating groupings that influence how cannabinoids interact with the body.

Direction, Not Destination
