Does higher-THC Blue Cheese also have more terpenes?
Not noticeably. In the 268 tests that report both, the third with the most THC (26.72% or more) had a median of 1.26% total terpenes, against 1.33% for the third with the least (25.37% or less).1
The pattern holds in Maryland, the only state with at least 30 such tests.1 Total terpenes measure aroma compounds by weight; the comparison says nothing about effects.
| Tests from | Tests | Lowest-THC third | Highest-THC third |
|---|---|---|---|
| All states | 268 | 1.33% | 1.26% |
| Maryland | 262 | 1.31% | 1.26% |

What this data cannot tell you
- Which terpene leads test by test: only 6 of the 288 tests report at least five individual terpenes; the analysis needs 20.1
- Which strains have a similar terpene mix: needs at least 30 tests with individual terpene values (6 here).1
- Lab-to-lab differences: needs at least 3 labs with 20 or more tests each.1
- A particular jar: lab results describe flower sold under the name across 4 states from 2015 to 2024; only a batch’s own certificate of analysis describes that batch.1
- Effects: these are chemistry measurements. None of them predicts how a strain will feel to a particular person.
