Cinex is a sativa-leaning cannabis strain with a sweet citrus, light earth, mild floral undertone profile, 15-22% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene. It is best known for depression support, social conversation, the cleaning-the-apartment energy, with effects setting in fast, 3 minutes, focused uplifting energy without paranoia. Terp Bros NYC stocks Cinex-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
Cinex is typically reported as a sativa-leaning experience: depression support, social conversation, the cleaning-the-apartment energy. Onset is fast, 3 minutes, focused uplifting energy without paranoia. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
Cinex is built on a dominant terpene stack of myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, which together produce the sweet citrus, light earth, mild floral undertone aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Myrcene
In Cinex specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Limonene
In Cinex specifically, limonene contributes mood-elevating, clear-headed euphoria, daytime-friendly.
Caryophyllene
In Cinex specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Lineage + Genetics
Cinex traces back to Cinderella 99 crossed with Vortex, with a documented origin story rooted in Pacific Northwest, early 2010s, popularized in the Washington market for daytime functional use. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
one of the smoothest sativas on the menu, we point at Cinex when customers want energy but explicitly do not want the racy thoughts that come with terpinolene-dominant cuts. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try Cinex in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is Cinex a daytime or evening strain? Daytime-leaning. Cinex's terpene profile (myrcene + limonene) reads more alert than restful. For a quieter, heavier evening profile, ask the budtender about myrcene + linalool indica options.
Does Cinex cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Cinex contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding), limonene (mood-elevating) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of Cinex? Cinex typically tests in the 15-22% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is Cinex safe for first-time cannabis customers? Cinex runs 15-22% THC and can feel intense for first-time customers, especially in flower or pre-roll format. We recommend first-time customers start with a 2.5mg edible or a single inhale from a vape, and work up only after seeing how the strain feels at the lower dose.
