Romulan is a indica-leaning cannabis strain with a sweet pine, earthy hash, light citrus on the back profile, 20-25% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene. It is best known for evening unwind, the clear-headed evening session, with effects setting in medium, 5 minutes, heavy classic indica stone with a deep cerebral fog. Terp Bros NYC stocks Romulan-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
Romulan is typically reported as a indica-leaning experience: evening unwind, the clear-headed evening session. Onset is medium, 5 minutes, heavy classic indica stone with a deep cerebral fog. 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.
Romulan is built on a dominant terpene stack of myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, which together produce the sweet pine, earthy hash, light citrus on the back 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 Romulan specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Caryophyllene
In Romulan specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Pinene
In Romulan specifically, pinene contributes focus-supporting, fresh, clean on the chest.
Lineage + Genetics
Romulan traces back to Romulan #1 crossed with White Rhino, with a documented origin story rooted in British Columbia Canada, late 1990s, the Star Trek name attached because growers said the high "shut down your higher reasoning". 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
Canadian-origin indica that flies under the radar, when we get a Romulan cut from a NY cultivator we tell evening regulars first before it hits the floor menu. 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 Romulan 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 Romulan a daytime or evening strain? Yes for most customers. Romulan's myrcene + caryophyllene terpene dominance combined with the indica-leaning lineage makes it one of our requested evening strains. Pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for full evening wind-down support.
Does Romulan cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Romulan contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding) 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 Romulan? Romulan typically tests in the 20-25% 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 Romulan safe for first-time cannabis customers? Romulan is one of the friendlier strains for first-time customers because the body-heavy effect tends to be physically grounding rather than anxiety-provoking. Start with a small dose, and have a low-key evening plan, this is not a strain for active social settings.
