Special Sauce
Overview
Unlike most hemp strains, Special sauce is a creamy strain that is full of enticing flavors and aroma. This strain hails from Oregon CBD, the same breeders behind a couple of high CBD strains. This strain is a special edition that was created through the crossing of the original Special Sauce with Early Resin Berry strains. These two strains contributed uniquely to the genetic mix of this strain. The result is a formidable high-CBD strain.
Special Sauce has a mix of astringent berry notes with mild herbal scents. It is a terpene rich strain and other numerous scents can be detected from this strain. The sweet smelling terps are however dominant. The effect delivered by this terpenes is a happy and joyous feeling.
The CBD content in this strain is normally very high, about 15%. This strain will put your body in a state of deep relaxation. Being an indica leaning strain, this is likely to culminate in sound sleep. You are better off consuming this strain in the evening or weekend when you want to relax and unwind.
The olive colored nugs are smooth and velvety but will get slightly coarse when maturity checks in. Tiny resin glands will form on the surface to give the nugs a silvery appearance. The buds will become thick and difficult to break without using a grinder.
Special Sauce burns easily to produce a flavorful smoke. This makes this strain ideal for making hemp cigarettes. However, when the buds are improperly cured they can irritate the throat.

Terpene Profile
Special Sauce is a terpene rich strain with a blend of Myrcene, β-Caryophyllene, and Pinene.
Myrcene
Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in most hemp strains, especially those of the indica variety. Myrcene has a sedative effect.
Pinene
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene is commonly found in spices and is responsible for the peppery notes in this strain. You can find this terpene in spices such as basil, oregano, and rosemary. This is the only terpene that interacts directly with the endocannabinoid receptors. Thus it facilitates the activities of the other cannabinoids through the endocannabinoid system.
