Orange strains are a common name for cannabis varieties that are distinguished by a bright citrus aroma with notes of orange, tangerine or orange peel. This aromatic profile is formed due to certain terpenes, primarily limonene, as well as its combination with other aromatic compounds. Many representatives of this group also have noticeable reddish-orange bracts on the inflorescences, which enhances the visual association with the name.

Orange weed strains usually include Orange Bud, California Orange, Agent Orange, Tangie and their numerous hybrids. They can belong to indica, sativa or hybrid lines, therefore they differ significantly in plant shape and botanical characteristics. The common feature for them remains a fresh, sweet-citrus aromatic direction.

In the reference and legal context, orange strains are often distinguished as a separate taste and aromatic category. Seeds of such varieties are usually considered botanical or collection material, and the rules for their circulation and use depend on the legislation of a particular country or region.
