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

a) a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content that is at least 3%;

b) a cannabidiol (CBD) content that is at least 3%;

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

d) a terpene oil content greater than about 1%;

2. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said 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%. (0)

3. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof comprises a THC content that is at least 4%. (0)

4. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof comprises a THC content that is at least 6%. (0)

5. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof comprises a CBD content that is at least 6% by weight as measured by GC-FID and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)

6. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said 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 Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said 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 Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said 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 Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said 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 a Cannabis plant with at least 3% THC content, at least 3% CBD content, and a non-myrcene dominant terpene profile, said method comprising: (0) (4)

(i) making a cross between a first Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said 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;

11. A method of producing a Cannabis plant with at least 3% THC content, at least 3% CBD content, and a non-myrcene dominant terpene profile, said method comprising: (0) (3)

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

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

16. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said 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, and inflorescences. (0)
