Read the ride before you spark it
Rafael earns its DeePuff fit from 19% THC, a chill evening profile led by Myrcene, and effects that lean brighter and more active.
Rafael (or Raphael) is a sativa-dominant strain bred by Tikun Olam to contain high levels of CBD for patients experiencing sleep and digestive disorders. With a THC content of only 1 percent, Rafael is a top choice for patients disinclined to cannabis’ psychoactive effects. This strain, with CBD levels of up to 18 percent, is named after Raphael Mechoulam, a driving force in cannabis research.

The aromatic compounds that define this strain's unique characteristics and effects

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique smell, taste, and effects. They work synergistically with cannabinoids in what's known as the "entourage effect" to enhance or modify the overall experience.
