| CBN | <0.5% (increases with age) |
The moderate to high THC range delivers a potent sativa-dominant experience. The effects are cerebral-forward, with the uplifting character being the most notable aspect of the experience.
¶ Terpene Profile

| Caryophyllene | 10-15% | Spicy, peppery depth adding complexity |
| Myrcene | 5-10% | Earthy base, lower than typical due to Mango Haze's tropical profile |

The terpinolene-limonene combination is the defining feature of Good Vibes' aroma. Terpinolene provides the sweet, herbal-tropical foundation, while limonene delivers the bright citrus character. Together they produce the tropical-citrus-sweet profile that makes the strain immediately recognizable.
