Why Miss Grass products feature varying cannabinoid ratios, adaptogens, and emphasis on terpene profiles

Cannabis affects everyone a little differently, but some things are consistent. A heavy, body-forward high feels different from one that keeps your mind sharp and your limbs light. The difference isn’t just in strain name or THC percentage, but in the plant’s construction, and, more specifically, in the combination of cannabinoids and terpenes working together inside it.

When people talk about ratios in cannabis, they’re referring to the relative presence of active compounds. THC and CBD are the most recognizable, but they’re not alone. CBG, CBN, and THC-V also play roles. Some are more stimulating, while others are more relaxing. Some amplify the effects of THC, while others smooth them out. The way they appear together in a plant—how much of each and in what combination—can change everything.

Terpenes are equally important. These are the aromatic molecules that give cannabis its distinctive scent and flavor, and they also influence the experience of the high. Limonene is often associated with mood lift. Linalool tends to be calming. Myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene each bring their own qualities. None of these are guaranteed outcomes, but certain combinations do repeat themselves often enough to be noticeable. Terpenes don’t just tag along; they help direct traffic.

All of this isn’t new information for growers and product formulators. But for consumers, especially those just getting used to legal cannabis, it’s easy to miss the complexity underneath the buzzwords. A product with 30% THC and no terpene diversity might hit hard but feel flat. A product with 18% THC and a more complete supporting cast of terpenes and minor cannabinoids might feel fuller, last longer, and offer more emotional nuance.

That’s the logic behind the way Miss Grass formulates its products. The categories—Fast Times, Quiet Times, All Times, and Half Times—are shorthand for the way a given flower or gummy is likely to feel based on how it’s composed. We’ve already done the work to group the chemistry by effect, which means the decision-making for the person buying or consuming is clearer.

Each Miss Grass Minis pre-roll pack and Generous Eighth (4.2g) flower jar contains a whole bud, with clear, with clear labeling displaying the strain name and terpene profile. Fast Times flowers tend to carry brighter, sharper terpenes, such as limonene and pinene, which are often associated with alertness and mood lift. Quiet Times tends to lean into terpenes like linalool and bisabolol—soft, floral, and grounding. All Times is more hybrid in feel and composition, with a broader balance of terpenes that don’t pull too far in any direction. Half Times is the most gentle option, formulated with a near-equal ratio of CBD and THC for a softer, more functional experience.
This same logic carries through to Miss Grass Jewels—fast-acting THC gummies made with hemp-derived cannabinoids and nanoemulsified for quicker onset. Each pouch contains ten vegan gummies and, like the flower line, they’re sorted by effect rather than strain.

Lift Up gummies are watermelon blood orange mimosa–flavored and contain 5mg of THC per piece. We designed them for mental clarity and an energetic lift, supported by ingredients like lion’s mane, B12, and 5-HTP. The formulation is straightforward, with no CBD or CBN added. The intention is to keep things bright and focused.

Wind Down gummies are built for evening or whenever you need a comedown. Each piece contains 10mg THC, 5mg CBD, and 5mg CBG. The flavor is berry lemon ginger tea, and the functional additions include reishi, lemon balm, and passionflower. The effect is slower, steadier, and easier on the nervous system, and not just because of the added CBD and CBG. It’s how all the elements—cannabinoids, terpenes, botanicals—are layered together to produce an intentional result.

There’s no need to memorize a terpene chart or pretend that every strain has a perfectly predictable outcome. That’s not how this works. But when a product is formulated around the idea that each part interacts with the others—that cannabinoids don’t operate in isolation, and that terpenes do more than smell nice—it becomes easier to predict how you might feel, not in a clinical way, but in a functional one.

The Miss Grass Starter Duo includes one pouch of Lift Up and one of Wind Down. It’s a simple way to explore two different formulations, each built with distinct ratios and intentions. The point isn’t that one is better than the other. It’s that they serve different purposes, and they were designed that way intentionally. This is the direction cannabis has been moving. Not toward more THC, but toward more transparency and smarter formulations. Not toward a single ideal high, but toward tools for different moments, moods, and needs.

None of this guarantees the same result every time. Body chemistry, setting, tolerance—all of those things matter. But products built with ratios in mind tend to be more consistent, more navigable, and ultimately more useful. When you understand what’s in the plant, and what those compounds are doing together, you’re more likely to find something that feels right.

You don’t have to chase effect. You can choose it.
