1. A hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof, which produces a female inflorescence, said inflorescence comprising: (13) (4)

a) a B_T/B_Dgenotype;

b) a terpene profile in which myrcene is not the dominant terpene;

c) a terpene oil content greater than about 1.0% by weight; and

d) a CBD content greater than 3%;

2. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1 wherein the plant, plant part, tissue, or cell comprises a terpene oil content greater than about 1.5% by weight. (0)

3. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof comprises a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content that is at least 3.0% by weight as measured by GC-FID and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)

4. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof comprises a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content that is at least 6.0% by weight as measured by GC-FID and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)

5. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof comprises a cannabidiol CBD content that is at least 6.0% by weight as measured by GC-FID and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)

6. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein limonene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

7. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein terpinolene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

8. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein alpha pinene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

9. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein beta caryophyllene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

10. A method of breeding chemotype II cannabis plants with a non-myrcene dominant terpene profile, said method comprising: (0) (5)

(i) making a cross between a first hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant of claim 1 and a second cannabis plant to produce an F1 seed:

(ii) harvesting the resulting seed;

(iii) growing said seed; and

(iv) selecting a cannabis plant with a desired phenotype;

wherein the resulting selected cannabis plant is a chemotype II cannabis plant with a non-myrcene dominant terpene profile.

11. A method of producing a chemotype II cannabis plant with a non-myrcene dominant terpene profile, said method comprising: (0) (4)

(i) obtaining a cannabis seed, cutting, or plant cell, from a hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant of claim 1;

(ii) placing said cannabis seed, cutting, or plant cell in an environment conducive to growth; and

(iii) allowing said cannabis seed, cutting, or plant cell to produce a cannabis plant;

wherein said produced cannabis plant is a chemotype II cannabis plant with a non-myrcene dominant terpene profile.

12. A cannabis extract from the hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1. (2) (0)

14. An edible product comprising cannabis tissue from the hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1. (0)

16. The hybrid cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said hybrid cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein said plant part is selected from the group consisting of: trichomes, sun leaves, or inflorescences. (0)
