Forbidden Fruit strain: what the lab panel shows

Forbidden Fruit is the cross widely told as Cherry Pie x Tangie from the California breeder Chameleon Extracts, and on the shelf at Planet 13's Las Vegas superstore it comes as one product, a Brass Knuckles 1g distillate all-in-one vape at 82.0% THC whose 12 mg/g terpene panel leads with myrcene and grades indica-hybrid.

What it is

In the usual telling, Chameleon Extracts of Santa Clara, California made it by pollinating a Tangie plant with Cherry Pie pollen and kept the only purple phenotype out of 37; that is the widely circulated account, not a lab fact. On the Las Vegas superstore's shelf it comes from one brand, Brass Knuckles.

What the panel on the Las Vegas superstore's shelf shows

One product, one panel: the Brass Knuckles 1g all-in-one reads myrcene 0.36% and limonene 0.29%, then caryophyllene 0.21%, terpinolene 0.18% and linalool 0.15%, 12 mg/g in total. Two pairs there are near ties: caryophyllene and terpinolene at 0.21% and 0.18%, and terpinolene and linalool at 0.18% and 0.15%. At that total it is lighter than most distillate vapes on that shelf. Our grade sets caryophyllene aside as neutral and weighs the rest, and myrcene and linalool pull indica-ward harder than limonene and terpinolene pull the other way, so the batch grades indica-hybrid.

What that means for you

This is a distillate pen. Distillate leaves the still stripped of terpenes, so its panel reads the blend added back afterward (why their source matters), not necessarily the plant's own profile. Even so, the lead matches the strain's reputation, which puts myrcene first; where that reputation has caryophyllene second, this panel has limonene. Compare it with other distillate pens rather than with flower or live resin, which carry the plant's own terpenes.
